Royal Agio Cigars USA has yet another release planned for the 2018 International Premium Cigar & Pipe Retailers Association (IPCPR) trade show and convention–DUETO. This is the first handmade cigar blend released under the new collaboration-based Balmoral Serie Signaturas (Signature Series) platform and features a team up of Royal Agio Cigars’ CEO Boris Wintertmans and E.P. Carrillo’s legendary Ernesto Pérez-Carrillo. While each cigar maker has a unique and personal style, they share a philosophy that relentless, passionate curiosity is essential to discovering and enjoying the best life has to offer.
DUETO was blended by Ernesto Pérez-Carrillo and was crafted to excite the senses and incorporates each cigar maker’s hand-selected, preferred tobaccos. DUETO delivers a special, one-of-a-kind sensorial experience including Pérez-Carrillo’s signature elegant robustness and Boris Winterman’s balance of sophisticated complexity and smoothness.
“I am honored to have had the opportunity to work alongside Ernesto on this very special collaboration project for Balmoral,” commented Wintermans. “I want to push the boundaries of what can be discovered in premium cigar blending, and it is this desire that inspired the creation of the Balmoral Serie Signaturas (Signature Series) and initial conversations with Ernesto. This collaboration platform offers another avenue for us to explore, discover and release completely new and exciting cigar blends. The resulting blend for DUETO, behind Ernesto’s blending genius, makes this first release nothing short of exceptional.”
