  EP Carrillo Platinum Bash

  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.

  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.
• Cigar 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.
• Cigar 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.
• Cigar 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.
