For the last few months, E.P. Carrillo has been teasing new packaging for the 2016 version of the company’s annual Short Run release. Now the details are out.

According to Cigar Aficionado, the E.P. Carrillo Short Run 2016 will be offered in a single 6 x 52 size. While the company had previously hinted that the cigar would use a Nicaraguan rosado wrapper, it will actually be covered in an Ecuadorian habano wrapper with Nicaraguan filler.

Suggested retail price will be $12 per cigar or $120 per box of 10. The cigar is limited to 2,500 boxes of 10.

David Spirt, vp of sales for E.P. Carrillo, did not return a request for comment.
