A house usually has a roof and under the roof there is room for the family; this is also the case with E.P. Carrillo and its brands. From now on, all brands (E.P. Carrillo, Pérez-Carrillo and INCH brands) from the Carrillo company will come together under the Casa Carrillo umbrella brand. And that’s not all: the factory in the Dominican Republic has also been called that since 2024, as has the location in the USA.
“It was an important step for the future,” explains Ernesto Sr. to me.
Lissette Perez-Carrillo lets me taste the La Historia Silk, a limited edition cigar, blended by her. Inspired by the grace, resilience and influence of women, La Historia Silk will be limited to just 500 boxes per year, each made in a classic round toro format (6×52) and launched in the 3rd quarter of this year. A harmonious, elegant, creamy, yet powerful cigar.
Further news:
The Essence Connecticut series (Corona, Robusto, Toro). As the fourth blend in this series, after the Sumatra, Maduro and Honduras, the E.P. Carrillo Connecticut is the second creation in the Essence Series to be produced outside Casa Carrillo, in the Agroindustrias Diadema factory in Honduras.
And another piece of good news: more cigars of the Endure with the Cameroon wrapper, which has proved to be very popular, are now being produced than planned!
