E. P. Carrillo La Historia
Behind the E.P. Carrillo brand stands none other than Ernesto Perez Carrillo, one of the most talented and innovative master blenders of our time. Born in Cuba, tobacco was quite literally part of his heritage from the very beginning. However, Carrillo initially chose a different path, pursuing his passion for jazz music before entering the cigar industry.

His career in premium cigars began in 1990 at his father's company, El Credito Cigar Company. Demand for the brand skyrocketed almost overnight following an outstanding rating in Cigar Aficionado magazine, combined with the cigar boom in the United States. In 2000, Carrillo sold the company but remained as Master Blender until 2009.

Eager for new challenges, Carrillo wanted to prove to himself that he could achieve success without relying on the cigar boom or the foundation laid by his father. In 2009, he founded EPC Cigar Co. together with his son and daughter. Success came quickly. It is no coincidence that he has earned the nickname "The Godfather of Boutique Cigars." His craftsmanship is showcased in acclaimed cigar lines such as New Wave Connecticut, INCH Natural, and La Historia, which have received widespread recognition from both the cigar press and aficionados alike.

Flavor Profile: A perfectly balanced cigar featuring rich notes of dark chocolate, leather, black pepper, and coffee, culminating in a smooth, creamy finish.
