The E.P. Carrillo Aura Shengxiao Limited Edition cigar collection was created to honor the Chinese Zodiac. Each cigar blend captures the essences of the animal it represents. The blends were selected by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo and are made from tobaccos aged for five years so they could develop their own unique flavor profiles. Along with a beautiful handcrafted mahogany box, the cigars come with a set of cards that explains the blend for each cigar and the animal it signifies. The E.P. Carrillo Aura Shengxiao Limited Edition cigars are made at the Dominican Republic at the Tabacalera Alianza factory owned by E.P. Carrillo.
