Introducing Endure: E.P. Carrillo’s Tribute to Legacy and Resilience

E.P. Carrillo proudly unveils Endure, the first release in the Perez-Carrillo Premier Collection. This exquisite blend celebrates the shared heritage of two families, honouring resilience, tradition, and the unwavering dedication that defines E.P. Carrillo’s legacy.

Drawing inspiration from the Perez-Carrillo family’s journey from Cuba to America, Endure also pays homage to the Meerapfel family’s efforts to preserve the rare Meerapfel Cameroon wrapper. In the 1990s, Rick Meerapfel worked tirelessly to save this unique tobacco, safeguarding its future amidst the challenges of Central Africa. This spirit of determination and triumph is captured in every draw of Endure.

The cigar features the coveted Meerapfel Cameroon wrapper, renowned for its elegance and refined spiciness, paired with a Nicaraguan binder and filler. Together, they create a medium-to-full-bodied smoking experience marked by rich, layered flavours and complexity. Perfectly suited to pair with aged Scotch or robust coffee, Endure is a testament to E.P. Carrillo’s craftsmanship.

Initially available in Robusto and Toro sizes (retailing at $18 and $20 per cigar, respectively), the line will expand to include a Corona Gordo format later in 2025. Pre-orders begin on 2nd January, with the first shipments slated for late January.

“Endure is more than a cigar—it’s a story of persistence and triumph,” says Ernesto Perez-Carrillo. “It honours the sacrifices made to preserve a legacy and the unyielding spirit of the cigar community.”

A collaboration of the Perez-Carrillo and Meerapfel families, Endure symbolises strength, heritage, and innovation, offering aficionados a connection to the rich history of premium tobacco. Don’t miss this remarkable addition to E.P. Carrillo’s illustrious portfolio.
