La Historia by E.P. Carrillo E-III Cigars | Selected by Cigar Aficionado 2014 #2 Cigar of the Year - Rated 95
La Historia E-III from E.P. Carrillo is a tribute to the mentors, inspirations, and influences that shaped one of the world’s most respected master cigar makers. Ernesto Perez Carrillo, known for his legendary work with La Gloria Cubana and his own eponymous brand, brings decades of experience and craftsmanship to this exquisite creation. Notably, La Historia E-III is Carrillo’s first box-pressed cigar, making it a standout in both design and performance.
This medium-full-bodied cigar features a rich, oily San Andrés Maduro wrapper, an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder, and carefully aged Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. The result is a luxurious, complex smoking experience that earned #2 in Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 Cigars of 2014, with an impressive 95-point rating.
From the moment you hold it, La Historia impresses. The dark wrapper radiates flavor and aroma, delivering smooth, earthy notes even before lighting. Once ignited, rich bitter dark chocolate flavors dominate the palate, complemented by subtle hints of leather and spice toward the finish. Measuring 6 7/8” x 54, this masterfully constructed stick balances classic Cuban-inspired flavors with modern precision, creating a truly memorable smoke.
Perfect for evening enjoyment, La Historia E-III pairs beautifully with a sweet after-dinner cordial or fine port. For a glimpse into Carrillo’s origins, try pairing it with La Gloria Cubana Serie R Maduro, a nod to the cigar line that launched his celebrated career.
