This year, Tampa-based retailer Cigars Direct is celebrating its 25th anniversary. As part of those celebrations, it’s getting an exclusive cigar from E.P. Carrillo.

The Perez-Carrillo Pledge Box-Pressed Figurado is a 6 1/2 x 56 figurado, the first non-parejo size for the Pledge line. It uses the same blend as the rest of the Pledge cigars: a habano-seed wrapper grown in Connecticut over an Ecuadorian binder and fillers from Nicaragua.

“We are truly honored to commemorate the 25th Anniversary of Cigars Direct with an exclusive 6 1/2 x 56 Box-Pressed Figurado in our cherished Pledge line,” said E.P. Carrillo in a statement to halfwheel. “Crafted with some of our most aged tobaccos and having spent over six months in the aging room, this special release embodies the steadfast commitment to excellence that Cigars Direct has demonstrated over a quarter-century in the industry.”
