EP Carrillo Platinum Bash Toro 6 * 52, Box of 10

To create a memorable blend for his 70th birthday, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo asked his fans to conduct a blind taste consisting of three cigars and vote on their favorite. Each cigar had a distinct blend that was kept a secret. The cigars were the same except each one had a different colored foot band (red, gold, and platinum). The cigars were then boxed (2,000 boxes were produced) and distributed. Once they smoked the cigars, the fans voted for their favorite blend online. The winning cigar had the platinum band. This fan-sourced cigar consists of an oily Mexican maduro wrapper cloaking an Ecuadorian binder and a filler composed of Nicaraguan and Dominican Republic leaves. It is a medium-strength smoke with a rich complexity befitting a cigar that celebrates a milestone birthday. The cigars are handmade in the Dominican Republic.

Cigar Origin
Dominican Republic
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
The Dominican Republic is the world's first producer of cigars. Most factories are located in Santiago, in the center of the island, and in close proximity to the tobacco fields grown in the fertile Cibao Valley. While tobacco and cigars have always traditionally been produced in the Dominican Republic, many Cuban cigar makers established in the Dominican Republic after the Cuban communist revolution, elevating the quality of Dominican cigars.
Strength

Medium
Wrapper Color
Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).
Wrapper
Mexican
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Mexican tobacco is very dark and the best leaves can be used as maduro wrappers. In San Andres de Tuxtla (in the state of Vera Cruz), there is a very interesting production of Sumatra seed wrappers. Dark air cured tobaccos are produced in Mexico, mainly in Vera Cruz and Tampico provinces, on the East Coast along the Gulf. There is also some production in Yucatan. Mexico's volcanic soil yields tobacco that is spicy and earthy, with a very distinctive flavor.
Binder
Ecuador
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Ecuador is the perfect place to grow binders, because it is located on the Equator and it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, with a nearly permanent cloudy sky, provide a natural shade, protecting the plants from sunshine and allowing the tobacco to grow thin and light. Ecuador supplies Connecticut and Sumatra type binders to many cigar factory in the world.
Filler
Dominican Republic
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Filler (or “tripa” in Spanish) is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar. The Dominican Republic is considered one of the most premier tobacco growing countries in the world. The filler tobacco grown in this Caribbean island nation ranges from mild to full bodied. Olor Dominicano and Piloto Cubano are the main types of tobacco grown in the Dominican Republic.
Nicaragua
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Rolled by
Handmade
Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
Manufacturer
EPC Cigar Co.
Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, a legend in the industry since the success in the 90s of his La Gloria Cubana brand, has now created E.P. Carrillo which he runs with his family. In 2009, he began making the cigars that bear his name in his own factory called Tabacalera La Alianza located in Santiago, Dominican Republic.

All and all a very good smoke. If you are a fan of the E.P. pledge you will not be disappointed

Howard R.05/23/2023About: EP Carrillo Platinum Bash Toro 6" * 52

Another EP Carrillo winner!

Evan S.05/23/2023About: EP Carrillo Platinum Bash Toro 6" * 52

I always love limited-edition cigars especially from EP Carrillo, but this one wasn't that great. It's good, but not great like the Prequel, La Historia, or Encore. It has a good draw and even burn throughout the stick. But it lacks a memorable aroma and taste. The taste is a bit bitter and harsh. It's very earthy with what I think was leather and black pepper spice. Also, maybe charred oak? Definitely didn't get any cedar or citrus.

Frank R.05/23/2023About: EP Carrillo Platinum Bash Toro 6" * 52

Wasn't to impress with this cigar. E.P. Carillo makes other better cigars than this one. Somewhat bland.

Robert L.05/22/2023About: EP Carrillo Platinum Bash Toro 6" * 52

I'm having trouble describing this one. I love most of the latest EPC releases and this is a good cigar. It just doesn't hit me quite like the Pledge line does.

Gilbert M.05/20/2023About: EP Carrillo Platinum Bash Toro 6" * 52

I absolutely LOVE what EPC has been putting out lately!

Michael S.05/19/2023About: EP Carrillo Platinum Bash Toro 6" * 52
