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.

Outstanding, Always

I love this cigar. It is nuanced and always a wonderful way to spend some quiet time. I recommend a strong black coffee to truly appreciate every moment. The notes change from the foot to the head and the spice is always nice.

History Made

The La Historia is my favorite of the series so far, having smoked the Pledge, Allegiance, and the Encore, there is something special in the Historia. The oils from the wrapper expell a great smell in the air, and tabacco used gives a full body smoke, that runs as smooth as a Connecticut wrapper.

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.
