From the 2021 PCA Trade Show, we talk to Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr of E.P. Carrillo!
E.P. Carrillo has become the first manufacturer to exhibit two consecutive years as Cigar Aficionado's (CA) #1 Cigar of the Year, the industry's most prestigious award - namely because there wasn't any trade show in 2020. Still E.P. Carrillo has definitely been on fire the past few years. This year the focus was around the Perez-Carrillo lines, which saw the Pledge receive CA's #1 Cigar of the Year in 2020, the Encore receive #1 Cigar of the Year in 2018, and the La Historia receive #2 Cigar of the Year in 2014.
