3 pack of New Epernay sizes introduced at IPCPR 2011, packaged and sealed with
Humidipak for Humidified Shipping!
Three new sizes of Box Press Epernay were on display at IPCPR 2011 and they are previewing here at New Havana Cigars. Still a month or so away from regular release, we have received a couple of boxes of each so we could preview them with this 3-stick sampler containing all of them.
The Illusione Epernay brand, blended and owned by Dion Giolito, has three new sizes in its portfolio:
The Le Taureau is a 5 1/2 x 56 box press, that was recently rated 93 in Cigar Insider!
The L'Alpiniste is a 6 3/4 x 56 box press Torpedo, that was recently rated 91 in Cigar Insider!
The La Vie is a 6 3/4 x 56 box press, that was recently rated 91 in Cigar Insider!
The Epernay has been made with a combination of Nicaraguan Criollo and Corojo tobaccos.
The cigar is finished with a superior-grade Café Rosado coverleaf. The Epernay blend is very
complex and perfectly balanced treating the palate to hints of coffee and honey, further
enhanced through the olfactory with floral notes, and a long creamy finish.
