La Historia

Every cigar tells a story, and La Historia by E.P. Carrillo is a deeply personal narrative of the Perez-Carrillo family, paying homage to the women who have inspired the master blender himself, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo. This exceptional cigar is more than just a blend; it’s a heartfelt tribute to Ernesto’s mother and daughter, depicted on the band, symbolizing the rich heritage and enduring legacy of the Perez-Carrillo family.

The artwork on the band is a poignant representation of Ernesto’s inspirations: his mother in the tobacco fields of Cuba and his daughter in his home of Miami, FL. These images encapsulate the journey of the Perez-Carrillo family from Cuba to the United States, symbolizing resilience, tradition, and the pursuit of excellence.

This has been my favorite release of this series, up until the Allegiance tied it up. The Doña Elena in particular has a perfect balance of bold flavors that complement each other, without ever overwhelming the palate. I’ll go back to this one again and again.

One of my Top 3 favorite cigars ever! Im a fan of the Senador size, and I get notes of chocolate, dried fruit, raisin, with a bit of pepper that connects it all into a perfect robusto package. I always keep my humidor stocked with them!

Don't take our word for it

Achievements like this are the confluence of skill, talent and experience. In his 50-year career, Perez-Carrillo has owned factories big and small, worked for a major corporation, and has been making cigars on his own terms for the last decade. Now a two-time Cigar of the Year recipient, the man who’s done it all in the cigar business has just done it again.
