EPC Sampler

EPC stands for Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, a Cuban exile born in 1951 in the Cuban region of Pinar del Rio. After his independent venture with the El Credito Cigar Company and a period of employment at Swedish Match, he has remained active in the market since 2009 alongside his two children with their joint cigar factory, EPC Cigar Co.

Exclusive EPC Sampler: From “Humidor No. 1” to “Aura”

Ernesto has celebrated great success in the USA and now in Europe as well, particularly with the INCH line, a cigar series boasting impressive ring gauges of 60 and above.

A special highlight was the Humidor No. 1 from 2015, which surprised cigar enthusiasts with 30 Toro-sized cigars available in three blends (Colorado, Connecticut, and Maduro). In 2023, he introduced the ultra-premium Aura Sampler, featuring 12 cigars in various blends.
