E.P.卡里略将要推出一个深色茄衣的精华系列（Essence Series），命名为E.P.卡里略马杜罗。这款新品计划5月底或者6月初向零售商发货。
这个系列的茄衣是墨西哥圣安德烈斯烟叶，茄套是洪都拉斯烟叶，茄芯是尼加拉瓜烟叶。埃内斯托·佩雷斯·卡里略说，我对这个特殊的烟叶混合配方感到兴奋，和我以前调配的马杜罗版本的烟叶混合都不太一样。
这个系列有三个尺寸。罗布图，50环径，5英寸，售价9.25美元。公牛，52环径，6英寸，售价10美元。高达，60环径，6英寸，售价10.75美元。
雪茄装在木制包装盒内，每盒24支。从技术上说，这个系列是精华系列的一部分。但Essence这个词没有出现在包装盒上，也没有出现在烟标上。包装盒一侧有红黑配色的标识，突出Maduro一词。
埃内斯托·佩雷斯·卡里略计划未来三年内推出六款不同烟叶混合配方的精华系列。每款都以茄衣烟叶命名。首先是苏门答腊系列，已经在美国PCA贸易展参展，这次将和马杜罗系列同时发货。
苏门答腊系列和马杜罗系列有一些相似之处，圆柱形茄身，口味中等强度，内含洪都拉斯烟叶。埃内斯托·佩雷斯·卡里略在以往的烟叶混合成份里比较少使用洪都拉斯烟叶。
今年晚些时候，埃内斯托·佩雷斯·卡里略将推出洪都拉斯系列，未来几年将陆续推出康涅狄格系列、尼加拉瓜系列、喀麦隆系列。这几个产品线都隶属于精华系列。
E.P. Carrillo is expanding its Essence series with a dark smoke called E.P. Carrillo Maduro. The new blend is going to ship at the end of this month or the beginning of June.
E.P. Carrillo Maduro has a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, a binder from Honduras and filler tobaccos from Nicaragua. “I’m very excited about this particular blend,” says Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, who makes the cigars in the Dominican Republic at Casa Carrillo. “It’s different from anything I’ve done before in a maduro.”
It comes in three sizes. The Robusto measures five inches long by 50 ring gauge, and has a suggested retail price of $9.25. Toro is 6 by 52, and sells for $10 and the 6-by-60 Gordo has a $10.75 price tag.
The cigars are packed in wooden boxes, each with 24 cigars. While this is technically part of the company’s Essence line, the word doesn’t appear on the box or the band. The boxes have large red-and-black bands along the left side that emphasize the word “maduro.”
The company intends to further expand the Essence line, ultimately creating a six-blend series within the next three years, each of them distinguished by their wrappers. The first was Sumatra, which debuted at the PCA tradeshow and will ship at the same time as Maduro.
The Sumatra and Maduro cigars have some similarities: each is round, intended to be medium in body, and contains Honduran tobacco, something E.P. Carrillo doesn’t often use in a cigar blend.
Later this year, E.P. Carrillo will release the Honduras version of Essence, followed by Connecticut, Nicaragua, and Cameroon blends in subsequent years.
