E.P. Carrillo La Historia E-III
The E.P. Carrillo La Historia E-III is more than just a cigar; it’s a tribute to the rich legacy of the Perez-Carrillo family. With a length of 6 7/8 inches and a 54-ring gauge, this Toro Grand vitola provides a full-bodied, 80-minute journey into the heart of one of the world’s most respected cigar families.
Honoured with a 98/100 rating by Surrey Cigars and recognised as the #2 Cigar of the Year by Cigar Aficionado in 2014, this remarkable cigar captures the dedication, history, and artistry of Master Blender Ernesto Perez-Carrillo.
A Personal Homage to Heritage
The La Historia line pays homage to the inspirational women in Ernesto’s life—his mother and daughter. The band artwork on each La Historia cigar tells the story of resilience, symbolising Ernesto’s mother in the tobacco fields of Cuba and his daughter in Miami. The E-III, named after Ernesto’s son, reflects the deeply personal legacy of a family that has dedicated generations to the pursuit of cigar excellence.
Distinctive Flavour and Complexity
Crafted with an intricate blend of medium to strong flavours, the E.P. Carrillo La Historia E-III reveals notes of cocoa, espresso, and a subtle spice that unfolds gradually. The flavours deepen with each draw, creating a complex, layered experience that combines intensity with the refined balance Ernesto Perez-Carrillo is known for. This blend is ideal for those seeking a bold yet elegant smoke that embodies craftsmanship and legacy.
Roots of E.P. Carrillo
The Perez-Carrillo story began in Cuba, where Ernesto Sr. purchased the El Credito cigar factory in 1948, laying the foundation for what would become a family dynasty. Forced to flee during the Cuban Revolution, the family rebuilt their dreams in Miami, where Ernesto Jr. honed his craft under his father’s guidance. This dedication to tradition and quality is alive in each La Historia cigar, with every detail reflecting the lessons Ernesto learned from his father.
An Award-Winning Cigar Experience
Recognised globally and crafted with dedication, the E.P. Carrillo La Historia E-III stands as a hallmark of quality and history. Each cigar tells the story of family, resilience, and mastery, offering a deeply satisfying experience that celebrates the legacy of one of the most respected families in cigar-making.
