Casa Carrillo, the company led by Ernesto Pérez-Carrillo, has announced Pledge of Allegiance Rockets, a limited edition created for the 250th anniversary of US independence and scheduled to reach retailers right about now. The cigar is a 6 3/8 x 58 figurado made at the Casa Carrillo factory in Santiago, Dominican Republic.
What sets the release apart is the tobacco: both blends use only leaf grown in the United States. The first has a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper and a Pennsylvania binder, while the second has a Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper and a Connecticut Havana binder. In both cases the filler combines Pennsylvania and Connecticut tobacco.
Each humidor holds 20 cigars, 10 of each blend. Production is limited to 250 humidors, priced at $1,000 ($50 per cigar). Some of the humidors will be used at events and raffles dedicated to US military members and veterans.
