EP Carrillo TAA Exclusive 6" * 52

Although E.P. Carrillo is an industry leader in both popularity and quality cigars, they've never produced a cigar for the Tobacconist's Association of America (TAA) - until now. It may be no accident that the TAA is celebrating their 50th anniversary, but whatever the case may be, Carrillo finally wanted in, and they've released a winner. This full-bodied 6 x 52 Toro consists of a Connecticut Habano wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan filler for a richly complex finish. There are only 2,000 boxes of 10 being produced, so do not regret potentially missing out on the first TAA E.P. Carrillo to ever hit an ashtray.

• Cigar Length
  6"

  This cigar is 6 inches long, or 152.4 mm.
• 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.
• Cigar Ring Gauge
  52

  The cigar ring gauge corresponds to the diameter of a cigar, this cigar has a ring gauge of 52, so his diameter is 52/64 inches or 20.57 mm.

• Cigar 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.
• Cigar Wrapper
  USA Connecticut Habano

  The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
  This dark, sun-grown leaf stems from the Connecticut River Valley, much like its more well-known cousins, Connecticut Shade and Connecticut Broadleaf. Rich with hearty flavor, Connecticut Habano perfectly mixes the smoothness of Connecticut with the complex spice found in traditional Habano wrappers.
• Cigar Binder
  Nicaragua

  The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together. 
  Nicaraguan cigar binders are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Binders grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro binders are all produced in Nicaragua.
• Cigar Filler
  Nicaragua

  Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
