Cuba Aliados by E.P. Carrillo Churchill Cigars
The revival of legendary cigar brands has captured the attention of enthusiasts worldwide, and few relaunches have generated as much excitement as Cuba Aliados by E.P. Carrillo Churchill. Entrusted with resurrecting this classic name, E.P. Carrillo—the “Godfather of Boutique Cigars”—delivers a masterful creation. Following Oliva’s acquisition of Cuba Aliados and Puros Indios, the brand was divided into two lines: a standard Honduran production crafted by Julio Eiroa, and this exclusive Dominican edition produced at Tabacalera La Alianza under the supervision of Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr., with only 15,000 boxes in existence. The blend reflects Carrillo’s signature style: Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers, a Nicaraguan binder, and a rich Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. The result is a cigar that earned a remarkable 94 rating from Cigar Aficionado.
The presentation is a modern reinterpretation of a classic, featuring dark brown cabinet boxes and the iconic Cuba Aliados logo prominently displayed on the band. Construction is flawless, with a smooth, consistent draw, firm ash, and even burn line. Each puff produces thick, aromatic smoke, opening with black pepper and delicate floral notes. Earthy undertones provide a solid foundation, layered with cocoa, espresso, and bright citrus nuances. The finish is clean, smoky, and lightly spicy, with a subtle floral touch. Compared to the bold giants of the cigar boom—Punch, Romeo y Julieta, or La Gloria Cubana—this Churchill is more refined, balanced, and complex. At 7” x 50, it delivers a long, leisurely smoking experience that showcases the blend’s depth and nuance.
Crafted for the seasoned smoker, Cuba Aliados by E.P. Carrillo Churchill demands an experienced palate. Medium-full-bodied and meticulously balanced, it pairs beautifully with bourbon, red wine, or a full-bodied beer. With production limited to just 15,000 boxes, this is a cigar to savor and collect. Whether you’re a modern enthusiast or a longtime connoisseur, Cuba Aliados by E.P. Carrillo Churchill promises a smoking experience that is both classic and extraordinary.
