La Historia Silk represents an important change within the Perez Carrillo story. The original La Historia line is known for its box pressed presentation and fuller profile. Silk takes a different approach. It is round, medium in strength, and built around texture, balance, and a more gradual progression of flavor.

The project began with Lissette Perez Carrillo listening to women who work in, sell, collect, and smoke premium cigars. Their input shaped the finished blend, from wrapper selection through tasting and refinement. The result is a cigar inspired by women and blended for anyone who values depth, tradition, and a composed medium bodied profile.

The Ecuador Habano wrapper comes from Quevedo, Ecuador, and spent more than 18 months fermenting and aging before being selected solely for Silk. It covers a Nicaraguan binder and fillers from Estelí, Nicaragua, Pennsylvania Broadleaf in the United States, La Canela in the Dominican Republic, Mexican San Andrés, and Dominican Pelo de Oro. This mix gives the cigar a broad tobacco foundation without sacrificing its graceful character.

Expect an Ecuadorian wrapper in a warm Colorado brown range with fine veins, light natural oil, and a firm, even feel in the hand. The pre light aroma should reveal cedar, leather, dry earth, cocoa nibs, and a faint raisin sweetness. Once lit, Silk begins with cedar, cream, and soft pepper, then moves into earth, espresso, dark chocolate, leather, and restrained sweetness before finishing with oak, cocoa, and a lingering spice.
