Battleborn embodies the spirit of those who rise each day with steadfast resolve, veterans and everyday heroes alike. It is more than a cigar; it’s a salute to everyone who wakes up, shows up, and keeps going, no matter what the day demands.
Introducing Battleborn Warriors by Casa Carrillo
A Limited-Edition Tribute to Courage and Sacrifice.
A Salute to Strength, Service, and Spirit
Casa Carrillo proudly presents Battleborn, a special Veterans Day Limited Edition created to honor the courage, sacrifice, and unwavering spirit of those who put others before themselves.
The project was inspired by Lionel H. McKoy, a decorated U.S. Navy veteran who served for two decades, reaching Petty Officer Second Class and deploying aboard the USS Midway, USS Forrestal, and USS Dwight D. Eisenhower during the Gulf War and Operation Desert Storm. Since 2017, McKoy has served as Casa Carrillo’s Shipping Manager—a valued member of the family whose story embodies the essence of Battleborn.
“Lionel is part of our family,” says Ernesto Perez-Carrillo. “He served our country for 20 years, carried responsibilities most of us will never know, and then came here to work alongside us. I’ll never forget our first conversation about his time in service. At one point, he got emotional and a tear ran down his face. In that moment, I knew I was in the presence of a true hero—and Battleborn was conceived right then.”
This commemorative release stands as a testament to quiet strength and the drive to serve something greater than oneself.
Size: 6 x 56
The Blend: Bold, Strong, and Full of Character
Wrapped in a powerful USA Connecticut Broadleaf and bound with a combination of Mexican and Nicaraguan binders, the Battleborn Warriors delivers a rich, full-bodied, full-strength experience. Aged Nicaraguan fillers round out the blend, producing a cigar that is as deep and resilient as the people it honors.

Excellent cigar
23 January, 2026
I scored this cigar a week before Christmas so this was my present to myself on Christmas Day. I smoke this I memory of my dad who was a WWII veteran. I couldn’t have picked a more appropriate cigar. Great rich chocolatey leathery flavor. This cigar did not disappoint. If you can find one, don’t hesitate to buy it. I paid around $22 US Dollars for mine and it was worth every cent. Also part of the proceeds go in a fund to help those who serve us everyday. Thanks EP Carrillo for yet another great cigar!
Great cigar

This hits all the things I like in a cigar. It was exactly what I expected when I saw the blend. Full bodied with lots of dark chocolate and espresso notes and a little spice in the background that comes forward on the retrohale. Really enjoy this cigar!
