EPC Essence Connecticut

With the EPC Essence Connecticut, Ernesto Perez Carrillo presents one of his most elegant lines – crafted for aficionados who prefer a smooth, harmonious smoking experience. Like all cigars in the Essence Series, this variant represents top-tier craftsmanship, finely tuned between lightness, aromatic diversity, and balance. The concept behind the series follows a clear idea: each line carries the character of its wrapper in its name, embodying the diversity of different tobacco origins and refinements. They are essentially the “bread and butter” cigars from Ernesto Perez Carrillo.

Tradition Meets Innovation: The Signature of Ernesto Perez Carrillo

The name Perez Carrillo stands for authenticity, passion, and a deep understanding of tobacco. For generations, the family has upheld an (exiled Cuban) cigar tradition that found a new home in the Dominican Republic. With the Essence Series, Ernesto opens a modern chapter in his success story. While bold lines such as the EPC Pledge Cigars or Encore Cigars impress with intensity, the Essence Connecticut appeals to those who enjoy a smooth and creamy style – a tribute to classic Connecticut blends, interpreted through Carrillo’s fine sense for balance and structure.

Gentle Harmony: The World of EPC Essence Connecticut

The golden Connecticut wrapper from Ecuador gives these cigars from Honduras their characteristic mildness and a creamy, nutty flavor, while a Criollo 98 binder from Honduras and a finely tuned filler blend from Honduras and the Dominican Republic add depth and complexity. The smoke reveals a pleasantly soft flavor profile of almond, cedarwood, and a hint of white pepper. Perfectly crafted, elegantly designed, and wonderfully approachable, the EPC Essence Connecticut is a cigar for quiet moments – ideal for beginners and lovers of mild longfillers alike. A gentle introduction to the fascinating world of EPC cigars that still unmistakably bears Carrillo’s signature. The Essence Connecticut is rolled at Agroindustrias Diadema whereas the Essence Honduras is made at Plasencia’s Tabacalera del Oriente. The Essence Connecticut is the fourth line in the Essence Series to reach Germany in the summer of 2025. A total of six lines are planned – Essence Cameroon and Essence Nicaragua are still missing in our market.
