E.P. Carrillo TAA Exclusive 2025 Toro (Casa Carrillo)
The E.P. Carrillo TAA Exclusive 2025 Toro is a generous offering to the Tobacco Association of America (TAA) after "The Godfather of Non-Cuban Cigars," Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, rebranded his company to Casa Carrillo. This limited-edition cigar is only available through the world's most exclusive retailers. It features Ernesto's proudest achievement, the Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, masterfully box-pressed to compress the profound power of tobaccos from multiple nations into a golden 6 x 54 size. This is not just a cigar; it's another pinnacle of the Carrillo family's complex blending artistry.

【Tasting Notes: A Gorgeous Variation of Deep Broadleaf】
First Third: Upon lighting, the signature notes of dark chocolate and heavily roasted coffee from the Connecticut Broadleaf burst forth. Thanks to the high-quality aged tobaccos, the opening presents an astonishing smoothness, accompanied by delicate nutty and oily aromas, exhibiting a balance reminiscent of high-end Cuban cigars.
Middle Third: As it transitions to the middle, the core flavors evolve into a deep interplay of roasted hazelnuts, cedar, and licorice sweetness. With the inclusion of US-grown filler, the smoke in this section reveals a rich earthy fragrance and a natural molasses-like sweetness, with an incredibly smooth and logical evolution of layers.
Final Third: Towards the end, the flavors shift to warm toasted bread and more intense leather notes. Thanks to the precise box-pressing technique, the cigar maintains astonishing purity even when smoked down to the nub, leaving a long-lasting nutty and oily aftertaste, showcasing the stability of a top-tier non-Cuban cigar.
