As a part of the celebration of EP Carrillo founder Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr's 70th birthday, the company
has created a three-cigar sampler known as the Platinum Bash. The Platinum Bash will feature three
unreleased blends, and consumers get a chance to select one of the blends as a future EP Carrillo
limited edition release. Production will be limited to 2,000 boxes of Platinum Bash before the release of
the winner in 2023.
All three of the cigars are toros measuring 6 inches by 52 ring gauge, bear identical bands and are only
distinguished from one another by the colour of the ribbons at the foot of each cigar. The blends are
being kept secret to create a blind taste test for consumers. Inside each of the silvery boxes will be an
insert containing a QR code where cigar smokers are directed to a webpage where they can vote for
whichever coloured band they enjoyed smoking the most.
