E.P. Carrillo Pledge Sojourn Cigars
The E.P. Carrillo Pledge Sojourn stands as one of the most eagerly awaited and sought-after cigars to ever bear the Perez-Carrillo name. As the third chapter in the award-winning Perez-Carrillo series—following La Historia and Encore—Pledge has been celebrated as Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s crowning achievement, earning him continued recognition as “The Godfather of Boutique Cigars.” Crafted exclusively by master rollers at Tabacalera La Alianza in the Dominican Republic, this exceptional blend features Nicaraguan filler, an Ecuadorian binder, and a dark, oily U.S.-grown Connecticut Habano wrapper. With La Historia rated at 95 and Encore at 96 (and crowned Cigar of the Year in 2018), Pledge had much to live up to—and in 2020, it surpassed all expectations with a 98 rating and the No. 1 ranking on Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 list.
True to Perez-Carrillo tradition, the Sojourn comes presented in elegant lacquered cedar boxes of 10, detailed with blue-and-gold banding and finished with a golden ribbon at the foot. The box press not only enhances its luxurious appearance but also delivers a comfortable feel in hand and on the lips. Construction is flawless, producing an effortless draw, rich clouds of smoke, and firm, gray ash. The profile opens with black pepper and Nicaraguan spice before settling into a refined mix of earth, roasted nuts, and espresso, accented by cinnamon, cocoa, and subtle bread notes on the finish. A naturally sweet retrohale ties it all together. Medium to full in body yet impeccably balanced, the 6" x 52 Sojourn provides an extended, mellow session to explore every nuanced layer of flavor.
A cigar made for true aficionados, Pledge Sojourn rewards a seasoned palate with its bold complexity. Pair it with a deep red wine, fine cognac, or strong black coffee for an elevated experience. Comparable not only to its acclaimed Perez-Carrillo siblings but also to ultra-premium lines like Padron 1964 and Diamond Crown Maximus, Pledge reflects Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s unmatched blending expertise. This is one of the rarest and most in-demand cigars on the market—secure yours now and enjoy a masterpiece hailed as one of the finest cigars of our time.
