#5 Cigar of 2023, Cigar Aficionado

The E.P. Carrillo Allegiance Confidant is a premium cigar that is the result of a collaboration between Ernesto Perez-Carrillo and Oliva Cigars. The second cigar crafted outside of Ernesto's Tabacalera Alianza factory in the Dominican Republic, it features Oliva's high-quality tobacco blended by Ernesto himself.

Each box contains 20 cigars, each with an all-Nicaraguan blend wrapped in a Sumatra seed wrapper grown in Ecuador. Upon examination, the Allegiance Confidant gives off a delightful floral aroma that sets the stage for a unique flavour profile. Notes of earth, cinnamon, dark coffee, and nuttiness are present in each puff, making for an unforgettable smoking experience.

Ernesto's direct supervision during construction ensures a solid light grey ash and an even burn throughout the smoke. With excellent construction and top-quality ingredients, the E.P Carrillo Allegiance Confidant is a must-try for any cigar aficionado.
