E.P. Carrillo La Historia

About this listing

EP Carrillo just can't miss, and his new La Historia line extends the streak even further. Created to honor all of the members of the Perez-Carrillo family who've supported and enabled Ernesto to perfect and continue his craft over the past decades, La Historia is a fitting tribute. Gorgeous, ornate artwork and a blend that was selected for the perfect marriage of texture, flavor, and balance, La Historia employs a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, Ecuadorian Sumatra binder, and Dominican and Nicaraguan long-fillers. Rich, chewy flavors coat the palate before you're hit with subtleties of roasted nuts, espresso, black pepper, and dark chocolate. Just a hint of sweetness on the finish adds the perfect balance. It's sensory overload, and it delivers in spades.Great News! In addition to earning the #2 Cigar of 2015 spot, La Historia by E.P. Carrillo recently earned a 95-point rating, noting: "The draw of this dark, box-pressed toro is a touch firm, but brings a dense smoke to the palate, full of peppery notes, tangy wood, hints of raisin and a finish that smacks of chocolate-covered cherries."
