蘇門答臘版本的茄衣是厄瓜多爾種植的蘇門答臘種子煙葉,，兩片茄套煙葉，一片是尼加拉瓜煙葉,，一片是洪都拉斯煙葉,，茄芯是尼加拉瓜、多米尼加的混合煙葉,。
馬杜羅版本的茄衣是墨西哥圣安德雷斯煙葉,，茄套是洪都拉斯煙葉，茄芯是尼加拉瓜煙葉。
這兩個版本的口味強(qiáng)度都是中等,。雪茄都是每盒24支裝,。有三個尺寸。羅布圖,，50環(huán)徑,，5英寸，每支售價9.25美元,。公牛,，52環(huán)徑，6英寸,，每支售價10美元,。高達(dá)，60環(huán)徑,，6英寸,，每支售價10.75美元。精華系列的雪茄是圓柱形,，和承諾（Pledge）,、傳承（La Historia）、忠誠（Allegiance）那些系列不一樣,，它們做成了盒壓造型,。
每個包裝盒內(nèi)都貼了一個二維碼，掃描后可以看見雪茄信息,，還有一份消費者調(diào)查問卷，幫助你發(fā)現(xiàn)適合你口味的卡里略雪茄,。
其他版本的精華系列將在未來兩年內(nèi)陸續(xù)發(fā)布,。
The first two lines of E.P. Carrillo's Essence series, Sumatra and Maduro, are heading to retailers now. According to company founder Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, each line in the series is intended to showcase a different wrapper. Both are made in the Dominican Republic at Casa Carrillo.
The Sumatra line consists of an Ecuador Sumatra wrapper with two binder leaves (one from Nicaragua, the other from Honduras) and a mix of fillers from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. The Maduro line is made with a Mexican San Andrés cover leaf over a Honduran binder and Nicaraguan filler.
According to the company, both lines are intended to be medium in body.
Packaged in boxes of 24, both lines come in the same three sizes and price points: Robusto, measuring 5 inches by 50 ring gauge ($9.25); Toro, 6 by 52 ($10); and Gordo, 6 by 60 ($10.75). Unlike box-pressed brands such as Pledge, La Historia or Allegiance, the Essence Series is round.
Each box includes a QR code that brings you to a webpage providing information on the cigar, along with a questionnaire intended to pair consumers with a cigar in the E.P. Carrillo portfolio.
Further lines in the Essence Series are planned for release over the next two or three years.
