Cuba Aliados by E.P. Carrillo Robusto Cigars
The resurgence of once-iconic cigar brands has become a fascinating trend, and few relaunches have generated as much excitement as Cuba Aliados by E.P. Carrillo Robusto. Tasked with breathing new life into this storied name, E.P. Carrillo—the “Godfather of Boutique Cigars”—delivers a masterful creation. Following Oliva’s acquisition of Cuba Aliados and Puros Indios, the brand was split into two lines: a standard production series crafted in Honduras by Julio Eiroa, and this exclusive limited edition, produced at Tabacalera La Alianza in the Dominican Republic under the guidance of Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr., with only 15,000 boxes made. The blend is signature Carrillo: Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers, a Nicaraguan binder, and his hallmark Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. The effort clearly paid off, earning a stellar 94 rating from Cigar Aficionado shortly after release.
Presentation is elegant and contemporary, yet steeped in tradition—from the rich dark brown cabinet boxes to the iconic Cuba Aliados logo on the band. Construction is flawless, showcasing a steady draw, firm ash, and even burn line. Thick, aromatic smoke opens with black pepper and subtle floral notes, while an earthy core delivers layers of cocoa, espresso, and hints of citrus. The finish is clean, smoky, and lightly floral. Compared to the bold giants of the cigar boom—Punch, Romeo y Julieta, or La Gloria Cubana—this stick is refined, balanced, and sophisticated. At 5” x 50, the robusto offers a concentrated, flavorful experience that beautifully captures the blend’s essence.
This cigar is crafted for the seasoned enthusiast. Its medium-full body and nuanced profile reward those with an experienced palate. Pair it with bourbon, red wine, or a full-bodied beer for a special occasion, and savor every puff of this limited-edition release. Cuba Aliados by E.P. Carrillo Robusto is a celebration of two legendary names, offering a smoking experience that is as memorable as it is extraordinary.
