E.P. Carrillo Endure Toro

E.P. Carrillo Endure cigars pay homage to endurance, passion and perfection in the art of cigar-making. Crafted at the renowned Casa Carrillo factory in the Dominican Republic, they combine a rare Cameroon sea apple wrapper with the finest Nicaraguan tobaccos. The result is a complex, medium- to full-bodied cigar with exceptional balance, a subtle sweetness and an elegantly spicy profile – a masterpiece by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, the ‘Godfather of Boutique Cigars’.

Tradition & Refinement

The E.P. Carrillo Endure combines a silky, reddish-brown Cameroon wrapper from Africa with a robust Nicaraguan Habano/Criollo ’98 binder and a harmonious Nicaraguan filler. This combination delivers a full-bodied aroma with notes of roasted nuts, cedar, cocoa and subtle floral hints. Compared to other Carrillo ranges, the Endure displays a particularly elegant balance between sweetness, spice and depth – a blend for experienced connoisseurs seeking character and finesse.

Taste & Character

From the very first puff, a complex interplay of aromas unfolds, featuring wood, spice and a creamy sweetness. In the middle section, nuances of coffee, cocoa and dried fruit come to the fore, accompanied by a subtle hint of pepper. The smoke is dense, smooth and aromatic, the burn even and the ash firm. The Endure remains consistently balanced throughout – powerful, yet never overpowering. A prime example of Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s perfection in balancing strength and flavour.

Perfect for special moments

The Endure is a cigar for conscious enjoyment – ideal in the evening, with a glass of red wine, rum or mature whisky. It offers depth, structure and long-lasting flavours that unfold with every puff. Perfect for experienced aficionados who appreciate an expressive yet finely balanced smoke.
