E.P. Carrillo Creates Dark Rituals Line for Cigars International
The name may be familiar but the cigars aren’t, as E.P. Carrillo is crafting a new line called Dark Rituals for Cigars International and its distribution arm, Meier & Dutch.
The Dark Rituals name was used for the E.P. Carrillo Edición Limitada 2011, the company’s annual limited edition release. Recently, the cigar has been seen on social media and Lissette Perez-Carrillo confirmed that a new line was in the works, though was clear that it is a different blend.
Brian Hewitt of Stogie Review posted pictures of the cigar this past week.
On the Cigars International website, it is described as having a Connecticut broadleaf maduro, Ecuadorian binder and Nicaraguan filler. The line is available in four sizes, a 5 x 50 robusto ($59.99 per box of 10), 6 x 52 toro ($64.99 per box of 10), 6 x 60 ($69.99 per box of 10) and 6 x 52 torpedo ($74.99 per box of 10).
While it’s an exclusive product, any retailer could order the cigar through Meier & Dutch.
Two of the sizes, the robusto and toro, have been released in five-packs, while the other sizes are currently listed as backordered. This is not the first time that Meier & Dutch/Cigars International has received an exclusive product from E.P. Carrillo, it previously has received exclusive Short Runs.
The cigars are made at Tabacalera La Alianza S.A. in the Dominican Republic.

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 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.
