EPC Brings Back a Cigar From the Past: In the Form of the Short Run 2021
July 14, 2021
EPC as a brand was created way back in the year 2010. At that time one of their core lines was the “Short Run”. The idea behind the short run was to utilize scarce and unique tobaccos that were not plentiful enough to produce a regular line. Today this is common practice in the industry. The last time Perez-Carillo produced a short run was in 2016. Now in 2021 the short run is back; utilizing the original band from 2010. As a result you will see “Retro” stamped on each box. The Short Run blend, by its design, changes each year, so don’t expect the 2021 release to taste like releases from the past.The 2021 Short Run Retro is made with an Ecuador Habano wrapper, binder from Nicaragua and a mix of Dominican and Nicaraguan filler. The first production will include three sizes. A Short Play (5 x 50), Extended Play (6 x 52), Long Play (6 x 60). The first production will be extremely limited to only 40,000 and 150 retailers.
