It’s hard to beat all the great blends that are coming from so many companies these days. The Pledge was able to achieve this. An incredible cigar to enjoy any time of the day, for any occasion. Very smooth flavor. Just a cigar that stands above all the others. Great job EPC, you’ve earned all the accolades that come with this blend.

Achievements like this are the confluence of skill, talent and experience. In his 50-year career, Perez-Carrillo has owned factories big and small, worked for a major corporation, and has been making cigars on his own terms for the last decade. Now a two-time Cigar of the Year recipient, the man who’s done it all in the cigar business has just done it again.
