E.P. Carrillo has started shipping their latest cigar, the E.P. Carrillo Short Run 2023. This annual limited edition release is the first time it's being made in another factory outside of the Dominican Republic.
E.P. Carrillo's Short Run series is known for its unique, one-of-a-kind blends that use rare tobaccos and tell distinct stories every year. This year's iteration is rolled at the Oscar Valladares Tobacco & Co factory in Honduras. The Short Run 2023 will be offered in three sizes: Robusto 5 x 50 $10.75, Toro 6 x 52 $11.75, and Gordo 6 x 60 $12.75. All come in boxes of 24 with 1,250 boxes being made of the Robusto and Toro, and 625 boxes of the Gordo.
The blend uses a Habano seed Ecuadorian wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and fillers from Nicaragua and Honduras.
I'm thrilled to be working with the cherished Copan tobacco from Honduras after over two decades. Crafting this blend at Oscar Valladares' factory with his team is a perfect fusion of tradition and innovation. Our 2023 Short Run is a tribute to the timeless character of this unique tobacco, brought to life with a modern touch.

Working together with Don Ernesto Perez-Carrillo has been a formidable experience and a great honor for us, and it fills us with satisfaction to have used tobacco from Copan, Honduras. This tobacco has filled us with satisfaction and has been a fundamental part of our history and one of my favorites.
