E.P. Carrillo Connecticut Ships to Retailers This Week

Casa Carrillo announces the latest addition to its Essence Series: the E.P. Carrillo Connecticut is now shipping to retailers nationwide. As the fourth blend in this line—following Sumatra, Maduro, and Honduras—the Connecticut is also the second Essence cigar crafted outside Casa Carrillo, produced exclusively at the Agroindustrias DIADEMA factory in Honduras.

“The E.P. Carrillo Connecticut was born out of a desire to create a cigar that pairs creamy, mellow flavors with exceptional craftsmanship,” said Ernesto Perez-Carrillo. “This blend is perfect for both seasoned smokers seeking a refined, nuanced experience and those new to the world of premium cigars.”

Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut

Binder: Criollo 98 Honduran

Filler: Honduran & Dominican Republic Tobaccos

Sizes and Pricing (24-count boxes):

  • Corona (5 1/2 x 44) – $9.25 MSRP
  • Robusto (5 x 50) – $9.75 MSRP
  • Toro (6 x 52) – $10.50 MSRP

“As part of our rebrand, E.P. Carrillo now lives as a proud sub-brand under the Casa Carrillo name—honoring our legacy while making space for the future. The E.P. Carrillo Connecticut release is a perfect example of that evolution: refined, approachable, and rooted in craftsmanship.” — Lissette Perez-Carrillo.

Done, and thank you.
