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.

Love It

Fantastic full-flavored cigar. The ornate red label and light blue ribbon on the foot suggest this stick is special to the folks at Casa Carrillo, and the smoking experience proves it.

Well-constructed with a smooth draw and an oily wrapper, it’s a real pleasure. Pepper, dark fruit, wood, and espresso are the main tasting notes for me. The Robusto is great. So is the Doña Elena. The E-III (6 7/8 X 54) is even better in my opinion.

First Time Grandpa

9 February, 2024

I was given a Carrillo La Historia from a friend to celebrate becoming a grandfather! It was my first time smoking this cigar and it was so good, I felt compelled to write a review. As advertised, great notes of coffee and cocoa, but the earthiness made it just right. It was a great smoke from the first puff until the end. Perfect, just like my grandson!

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.
