Casa Carrillo La Historia
Price range: $14.99 through $15.49
Some cigars are built to impress. This one was built to remember. La Historia is Casa Carrillo’s tribute to the Perez-Carrillo family, debuted in 2014 and named No. 2 on Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 Cigars of the Year that same year. A full bodied blend wrapped in Mexican San Andres, bound in Ecuadorian Sumatra, and filled with Nicaraguan tobacco. Rich, complex, and deeply personal, it returned to Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 again in 2021 at No. 24.
Description
La Historia debuted in 2014. Throughout the years, its look has gone through a few revamps, won countless awards and praise, and had numerous variations and vitolas. What has not changed is the inspiration behind the cigar’s name and purpose:
“…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.”
