E.P. Carrillo Announces Perez-Carrillo Pledge Apogee is Heading to Stores

The newest size of E.P. Carrillo’s Perez-Carrillo Pledge line will be on its way to stores on Friday, as the company has announced it is ready to begin shipping the Apogee.

It’s a 6 1/4 x 58 toro gordo that comes with an MSRP of $15. Like the other sizes in the line, it uses a Connecticut habano wrapper, Ecuadorian binder and Nicaraguan filler, and is offered in 10-count boxes. The new size was previewed at the 2021 PCA Convention & Trade Show, and it is limited to 3,000 boxes.

It becomes the third size in the Perez-Carrillo Pledge line.

The company made the announcement about the Apogee shipping via Cigar Aficionado. An email to the company seeking confirmation of the report’s accuracy has not yet been returned.

Update — On Friday morning, the company confirmed that the Apogee is shipping.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury, the G-League's Valley Suns, and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
