La Historia

Every cigar tells a story, and La Historia by Casa 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 is a great cigar after a big meal at night. Very bold lots of spice coffee and espresso notes. Disregard is not disappoint. If you like spicy at least that’s my taste.

La Historia was the 1st of the ECP cigars that I tried.

From the moment I first lit up the La Historia I knew I was smoking great cigar.

When I want a high quality, fine cigar I reach for a La Historia

Fantastic!!

I’ve only been indulging in premium cigars for about a year now, and this is definitely one of my favorites. Flavor profile, burn, smoke production, it hits everything for me. I almost always have one in my humidor, and I highly recommend you do the same.

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.
