Casa Carrillo is introducing three new products at the 2026 PCA

The new Deep Blue, a cigar limited to 2,500 boxes, is part of the Perez-Carrillo Collection. It draws its inspiration from the unexplored depths of the sea, expressed through an elegant, maritime dark blue on the boxes and cigar bands. Master Blender Ernesto Perez-Carrillo describes the profile as complex and profound, featuring a Nicaraguan Jalapa wrapper, a Honduran binder, and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. The format chosen is a 6 x 56 Toro Gordo, named Hades, packaged in boxes of 20. The recommended retail price per cigar is USD 22.00.

Pledge Purple is an extension of the award-winning Pledge series and marked the fifth anniversary of the 2020 Cigar of the Year award. For the wrapper, Perez-Carrillo selected the same tobaccos used in the original Pledge blend. For Pledge Purple, however, these are aged for approximately ten years. The Mexican binder and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos lend this blend a special richness and unique character.

The Ascend line is an entirely new addition to the Perez-Carrillo Collection and is produced regularly in three sizes: Saddle 5 x 50, Ridge 6 x 52, and Peak 6 1/4 x 58. Prices range from $12.75 to $14.95. Like the other new releases, these cigars are manufactured at the Casa Carrillo factory in Santiago, Dominican Republic. The blend consists of an Ecuador Habano wrapper, a Nicaraguan binder, and filler leaves also sourced from Nicaragua.

Done, and thank you.
