E.P. Carrillo Essence Honduras Exclusive Released for Tobacco Tactical
Tobacco Tactical, the innovative online retailer known for its subscription service and wholesale operations, has secured another exclusive release—this time from E.P. Carrillo via Plasencia. The limited-edition E.P. Carrillo Essence Honduras robusto extra is now available exclusively through Tobacco Tactical, reinforcing the retailer’s growing reputation for securing premium, sought-after cigars.
A Unique Take on a Highly Regarded Blend
The E.P. Carrillo Essence Honduras line debuted in 2024, featuring a carefully curated blend designed to highlight the rich, bold characteristics of Honduran tobacco. This exclusive vitola, a 5 1/2 x 52 robusto extra, stays true to the original Essence Honduras recipe, incorporating a Honduran Olancho San Agustín wrapper, a Honduran binder, and a blend of fillers from both Honduras and Nicaragua. However, for this special release, the blend has been slightly adjusted with an increased amount of one of the filler leaves, enhancing the cigar’s depth and complexity. Additionally, the wrapper undergoes a meticulous two-year fermentation process, intensifying its smoothness and flavour profile.
Although branded and distributed by E.P. Carrillo, the cigars are expertly crafted at Plasencia’s Tabacos de Oriente factory in Honduras, ensuring the highest quality production standards.
Limited Availability and Pricing
With a total production run of only 10,000 cigars, the E.P. Carrillo Essence Honduras robusto extra is an extremely limited offering. Each cigar carries an MSRP of $11, making it an attractive option for collectors and enthusiasts seeking exclusive, premium smokes.
Initially, the cigars will be sold exclusively through the Tobacco Tactical storefront, with a later, yet-to-be-announced release of boxes to select retailers. This follows Tobacco Tactical’s pattern of launching limited-edition cigars through its platform before broader distribution.
Industry Leaders on the Exclusive Release
“The development process involved countless hours of working on multiple blends in 2024, ensuring the product met the expectations of Tobacco Tactical’s standards—unknowing that we would move forward with something that we had already been working on for ourselves for quite some time,” said Wayne Stoner, national sales director for E.P. Carrillo, in a press release.
Founded by Michael Medrano and Alexander Berezowski, Tobacco Tactical has been aggressively expanding its portfolio of exclusive cigars in 2025. Recent collaborations include limited-edition releases with Crowned Heads and Villiger, positioning the company as a leader in exclusive boutique cigars.
Final Thoughts
For cigar aficionados seeking something unique and expertly crafted, the E.P. Carrillo Essence Honduras exclusive for Tobacco Tactical offers a compelling experience. With its rich Honduran profile, refined fermentation process, and limited production, this release stands as a testament to the ongoing innovation within the premium cigar industry.
