The second of EP Carrillo’s 2014 new cigar releases, La Historia is born from an inspiration of the Carillo’s family history as cigar makers. This superior box pressed cigar has a chocolate colored Mexican San Andres wrapper, an Ecuadorean Sumatra binder and filler from Nicaragua. EP Carrillo La Historia is medium to full bodied with hints of dark chocolate, leather, black pepper and coffee, and a creamy long finish.

Cigar Origin
Dominican Republic
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
The Dominican Republic is the world's first producer of cigars. Most factories are located in Santiago, in the center of the island, and in close proximity to the tobacco fields grown in the fertile Cibao Valley. While tobacco and cigars have always traditionally been produced in the Dominican Republic, many Cuban cigar makers established in the Dominican Republic after the Cuban communist revolution, elevating the quality of Dominican cigars.
Strength

Full
Wrapper Color
Colorado Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Colorado maduro wrapper is milk chocolate brown.
Wrapper
Mexican San Andres Maduro
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Mexican tobacco is very dark and the best leaves can be used as maduro wrappers. San Andres Maduro is a thick, medium bodied dark leaf, also called San Andres Morron. Like Connecticut Broadleaf, San Andres Maduro is stalk cut and used for binder and wrapper.
Binder
Ecuador Sumatra
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Ecuador Sumatra tobacco is made from Sumatra-seeds that been cultivated in Ecuador, one of the most ideal locations for growing tobacco. The leaves tend to be dark and rich in flavor.
Filler
Dominican Republic
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Filler (or “tripa” in Spanish) is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar. The Dominican Republic is considered one of the most premier tobacco growing countries in the world. The filler tobacco grown in this Caribbean island nation ranges from mild to full bodied. Olor Dominicano and Piloto Cubano are the main types of tobacco grown in the Dominican Republic.
Nicaragua
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Rolled by
Handmade
Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
Manufacturer
EPC Cigar Co.
Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, a legend in the industry since the success in the 90s of his La Gloria Cubana brand, has now created E.P. Carrillo which he runs with his family. In 2009, he began making the cigars that bear his name in his own factory called Tabacalera La Alianza located in Santiago, Dominican Republic.

Fs how long can I keep the cigars in their packaged humidor if I add a humidity pack

Posted 12/20/2019

NeptuneCigar.com It depends on how good the seal on the box is... I would recommend moving them to a humidor as soon as possible.

A very high end smoke. Very tasty while not being overpowering. Excellent burn, wonderful smoke production and great notes that surround you with feeling of pleasure. Choose your vitola of choice and find the magic you have been looking for.

Philippe B.03/23/2023About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Gets quite strong on the last third. Draw on the loose side and had to relight it to often.

Marcin P.03/22/2023About: EP Carrillo La Historia Parientes 6"1/2 * 43

Interesting smoke, this one I enjoyed a lot.

Russell K.03/20/2023About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

The La Historia lineup is is a treat everytime I have one. The El Senador packs great flavor, easy draw, nice aroma in a great size.

02/19/2023About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

This cigar is second only to the Carillo 2009 Centennial which is the finest I have ever enjoyed. These are difficult to find at ordinary shops. I'll return for more!!

Marcin P.03/22/2023About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

EP never dissapoints, always great buy.

Easy going cigar for the money

Chris H.01/02/2023About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

One of my favorite. You can’t go wrong with this cigar.

Ben J.12/30/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Probably my least favorite EP Carrillo so far. I think it comes down to if you like Sumatra leaves or not. The bitter flavors were too much for me. Burn was fine, draw was tight.

Fred S.12/16/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia, 6-Cigar Sampler

E.P. Carrillo is always a quality smoke.

Russell K.12/11/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

This is a good smoke but I prefer the El Senador, a smaller but more flavorful in this line.

Gary F.12/07/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

Une série magnifique Top merci

Gilles M.10/20/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

An extremely earthy and smoky cigar. If you are a fan of sticks with strong mineral and hickory style flavors this should be added to your list to try. While it’s not exactly my preferred profile I definitely appreciated the layers of mineral, smoke, and hints of spice.

Corey B.10/16/2022About: EP Carrillo Triumph 3-Cigar Sampler

E.P. Carrillo cigars are excellent. If you fill your humidor solely with these cigars, you will be extremely happy.

Rob P.10/09/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

A well made cigar but not my taste profile. Worth trying for a longer smoke.

Rafael N.10/07/2022About: EP Carrillo Triumph 3-Cigar Sampler

Mike B.09/21/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia Parientes 6"1/2 * 43

Fell in love with the E-lll size so I had to try. Just as good in my opinion if not a little better because of the size. Same flavors just dialed down a little.

Brett F.09/18/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Very nice cigar.

Caleb Ingram 09/09/2022About: EP Carrillo Triumph 3-Cigar Sampler

All three fantastic cigars. The Pledge tends to catch a bad rap as "Over-Rated", but that has not been my experience. The best thing is to allow it to sit in humidor for a little while. All three cigars have A+ construction, draw, and flavor. Great presentation. Box Pressed. A pleasure to smoke. Great output.

Chris H.09/07/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Ep Carrillo always makes a great cigar. This one is my go to.

Alexander S.08/31/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Nice smoke, a bit oily for my taste

Nawar F.08/27/2022About: EP Carrillo Triumph 3-Cigar Sampler

Truly enjoyed the EP Carrillo 3 Cigar sampler. My fav is the La Historia E-III. Full body with notes of oak and chocolate. Will order again.

shihi p.08/25/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

At the beginning, there is a slight caramel taste accompanied by the aroma of cocoa and coffee beans Very comfortable sweet and bitter taste, the whole tasting process, the amount of smoke is very smooth It was awarded #2 by Cigar Aficionado The Top 25 Cigars of 2014, which fits perfectly.

Eric G.08/20/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

A must try if you enjoy full bodied cigars.

Michael D.08/20/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

One of my favorite

Casey S.08/18/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

Undervalued cigar, one of EP Carillo’s best!

Angel A.08/11/2022About: EP Carrillo Triumph 3-Cigar Sampler

Great taste and burn really enjoyed.

Rum H.07/31/2022About: EP Carrillo Triumph 3-Cigar Sampler

All excellent cigars! The accolades are justified. The Pledge Prequel is easily the best of the three. It honestly doesn't have the best taste or aroma I've ever had but it has certain intangibles that come together which earn that 98 rating in the final product.

Pat07/28/2022About: EP Carrillo Triumph 3-Cigar Sampler

One of the best samplers I've had. Enjoyed each cigar immensely

Len S.07/22/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

This is one of my favorites. Loaded with flavor and very smooth. Lots of cocoa and coffee flavor.

Ben G.07/19/2022About: EP Carrillo Triumph 3-Cigar Sampler

The handsome presentation of these winning cigars can't be beat. Looking for a gift? This is it. The flavors are rich with a satisfying hint of sweetness. The high ratings are well-deserved.

NICOLAS P.06/13/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Rolando B.06/13/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Overall an excellent smoke with lots of flavors on the palette.

Wendell K.06/12/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Simply put. I did not like it.

Scott N.06/11/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

I didn’t think I’d like this due to the wrapper, but it was actually quite good. I’d buy again.

Lonnie W.06/10/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia Parientes 6"1/2 * 43

One of the better cigars it ever smoked. AAA+++

Ivon06/05/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia Parientes 6"1/2 * 43

I don't like lanceros but this one hit all the right notes in a nice hour and a half episode. Excellent draw, bold but manageable flavors. I liked the cocoa, coffee, medium pepper. Nicotine kick was towards the last inch. Probably not the best choice for a first cigar, but great for an experienced smoker curious about lanceros.

Sal A.05/31/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

In the summer time I like to smoke a longer stick. The price point and quality on this stick is a go to for me.

Richard D.05/09/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

A cigar that you will enjoy on the stressful days.

James H.05/09/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

I understand why these sticks are hard to find here in the UK! Great flavour and excellent draw. Burn can cannoe

James K.04/30/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

Very nice smoke. Full bodied flavour with a good draw. Would buy again and I did.

Edward A.04/30/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia Parientes 6"1/2 * 43

Long time since I smoked a Lonsdale and based on this example I intend to smoke more. Spicy, peppery chocolaty and expressoish. Love this range

Edward A.04/30/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

I've yet to have a dud from the La Historia range. Chocolaty, spicy and not without complexity. Delish

YING YI C.04/19/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Good flavor, above medium strength, worth buying

I really enjoyed these! Fantastic!!

Sid L.03/29/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia Parientes 6"1/2 * 43

I am not a fan of the box-pressed cigar generally. I find holding the last little bit difficult. But this cigar was intriguing it had a nice unique taste that I enjoyed. I will try another one of there's in this line that is not box pressed. If you like a box pressed cigar try this one, you will not be disappointed.

Rob P.03/28/2022About: EP Carrillo Triumph 3-Cigar Sampler

Excellent sampler of some great smokes

Richard C.03/27/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Big pepper throughout, consistently pleasant but not too complex. Nice with a cup of coffee.

Dylan T.03/25/2022About: EP Carrillo Triumph 3-Cigar Sampler

Not bad. I don’t know about rating the pledge 98 points tho.

Jacob B.03/16/2022About: EP Carrillo Triumph 3-Cigar Sampler

A sampler doesn't get any better than this.. each one is a a staple to the cigar life and must try smoke.. A box of each is on the way !

Ronald K.03/01/2022About: EP Carrillo Triumph 3-Cigar Sampler

they make a great Birthday gift to my friends

Jose A.02/23/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia Parientes 6"1/2 * 43

In 2021, the EP Carrillo La Historia Parientes was awarded the number one Dominican Republic cigar of the year by “Cigar Lover Magazine.” And I can see why. This long, lean, box-pressed Lonsdale hit all the right buttons for me. It had strength, balance, complexity, and ease of smoking. Its savory, dark Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper had an imposing muscular look that telegraphed its potency. Construction wise it had a little play. The aroma off the body was grassy. The draw was smooth and effortless. Once lit, I picked up strong and imposing notes of spice and pepper, which did not let up. For a long cigar, it had no burn issues, nor did it go out. The smoke was wispy. The ash had a nice salt and pepper look to it. For the second part, the spice stayed strong, but subtle notes of earth and tobacco sweetness made their presence known. Into the final chapter of this family-themed cigar, the faint notes of coffee and coca appeared and helped mute the spice a bit. The cigar’s strength is listed as full, but it creeps up on you. It starts medium and slowly works its way-up to full. While it does pack a punch, its potency does not get in the way of its flavor profile and enjoyment. Overall, I recommend the EP Carrillo La Historia Parientes to aficionados who like a strong, balanced smoke. Pair it with a black American coffee to heighten the cigar’s boldness.

Mark M.02/23/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Lovely cigar. Would by these again.

Chuck V.02/22/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia Parientes 6"1/2 * 43

Really nice. Good robust flavors. I would definitely smoke a few more of these.

Reid B.02/15/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Big tasty cigar with perfect construction and tons of smoke. Medium strength, great concentration of Flavor !! Go to cigars!!

Gary J.01/25/2022About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

I am not an expert so here goes. Cigars arrived in perfect condition and well packaged. I am no good at notes. The El Senador is "peppery" all the way down. Flavour never turned bitter even at the end which is a massive plus. Very satisfying as I only received these on January 18,smoked on 24 January so just short of a week with the Bovedas. Worth every penny (cent) and much cheaper than in the UK. You Americans should cherish what you have. These New World cigars are just as good as Cubans. Thank you Neptune from a grateful English customer.

Kelly Lafnear 01/13/2022About: EP Carrillo Triumph 3-Cigar Sampler

Very nice cigar. Very rich smoke. Go smoke for after dinner with bourbon or a Dr. Pepper.

I became a fan of EP Carrillo through the Encore Majestic, and the La Historian E-III has become my cigar for weekends when I have a bit more time to appreciate the complexity of this bigger, darker toro.

Glenn J.12/19/2021About: EP Carrillo La Historia Parientes 6"1/2 * 43

Mediocre

NICOLAS P.12/12/2021About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Great smoke, strong, sweet and toothy. Has become my favorite Carrillo!

Joseph M.12/09/2021About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

A little wonky on the burn but overall a good stick. Toasty flavor, nice looking cigar. Draw was fine.

Victor A.12/08/2021About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

A good one

Harry R.12/05/2021About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Amazing cigar! Amazing service by Neptune!!

Angel G.12/02/2021About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Deliciously rich full-bodied robust cigar will bombard your palate with deep notes of cocoa, leather, coffee and pepper.

Pedro S.11/30/2021About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Good looking cigar with a lot of comments to back it up.

Jose E.11/29/2021About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Great smoke

Wayne H.11/15/2021About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Quite good, however the draw was tight, something I do not like in cigars. Flavors were good, spice, earthy

Chris W.11/12/2021About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

78 bucks for 10 of these ridiculously good cigars is unbelievable value. They should be selling out straight away!! I always have some in my humidor along with the other 2 in the series

JAO S.10/31/2021About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Impeccable cigar, well worth the price and awards.

Karan Pritam N.08/29/2021About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

What a beautiful cigar to relax with after a meal. Burn line was a little wonky to start with but leveled out on it's own. No touch-ups needed - burned perfectly all the way to the end. The aroma was a little bothersome for my wife as we sat and enjoyed each others company in a cigar lounge. But definitely a must try. Recommend pairing with a nice sipping rum - I had an Appleton Estate Rare Blend 12yo to go with it.

Sol K.08/24/2021About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Great weekend after dinner smoke. Bold, full body. goes perfect with single malt scotch.

Great sampler box three truly exceptional cigars. I bought three boxes. Smoke one box over the weekend with Flor de Cana 25 year rum. An exquisite weekend. Going to buy more boxes if I can find them for Christmas gifts for special brothers of the leaf.

Roger H.07/31/2021About: EP Carrillo Triumph 3-Cigar Sampler

Not only is E. P. C. a genius blender, but this package deal is ?? from beginning to end. Attractive in both presentation and content, it's not too hard to figure out why all 3 sticks have received such high reviews and placement. Bravo EPC and Neptune! Oh, and the price is right too... ??

Tom M.07/23/2021About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Good but I think I was expecting more. Would smoke again but won't buy again.

CHIA MING C.07/22/2021About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Better than Pledge by aroma and complexity.

Alexander G.07/22/2021About: EP Carrillo Triumph 3-Cigar Sampler

Nice package. I rank pledge, la historia, then encore. Not in tune enough to determine of pledge deserves high wet rating but it is my favorite. Great shipping

Brandon C.07/17/2021About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

Rich and full of flavor from beginning to end

Cefi E.06/11/2021About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Very nice looking cigar, well adorned with 3 bands, minimal veins with visible seems. Solid stick that draws extremely well. Nice cocoa with some light pepper. Burns well, slowly, producing a good amount of medium bodied smoke and grey ash, that holds a bit over an inch. After a long day, this cigar is just what I needed. Strong nicotine content, yet Smooth, tasty, perfectly balanced profile.

antonio r.06/10/2021About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

My favorite EP Carillo cigar.

Worth trying it

Jeffrey David G.04/02/2021About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

I’ve burnt through all the sizes and enjoy this stick as much as the Carrillo’s Pledge. Appearance is rough but normal for this outer leaf. Flavors of earth, blackberry, oak, and a touch of hay are prevalent. Some burn issues caused a minor touch up but not an overriding issue. The Carrillo family’s accomplishments are legendary... this cigar carved their niche. She’s a powerhouse... great!

Dan M.04/02/2021About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

What many blenders aspire to, an amazing smoke in everyway! There's a reason this has such high ratings around cigar circles. You've gotta try one!

Scott S.03/23/2021About: EP Carrillo La Historia Regalias D'Celia 5"7/8 * 58

The one to go for over the E3. Just my opinion but feels more special being shorter and more refined. The quiet star of the range. Bought a box without regret.

Pedro M.03/18/2021About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

EP is quickly becoming my go to brand for most occasions and La Historia will not disappoint! Great smoke, perfect draw and amazing cocoa notes.

Jeffrey David G.01/19/2021About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

One of my favorite cigars that is a consistent pleasure and reward. All the evils have summed this beauty up well.. it is a great full flavored cigar! I have smoked at least 100 of these lovely cigars since 2018, some have been less tightly rolled and smoked more rapidly. La Historia is a solid 92-93 cigar and one I am never without. The Carrillos’ do it right as purely evidenced by this cigar, the Encore, and Pledge! Bravo!

Raul/ Erica .11/22/2020About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

Yummy stick very peppery but not to much to choke or lay down it gets you hooked with the mix of leather and cocoa. I recommend

It’s amazing! Lot of chocolate and creamy flavour and very smooth texture!

Jared W.11/12/2020About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

Nothing to be impressed with here. Medium body, first third wasn't that great. For $10 I'd look elsewhere.

John B.01/29/2020About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

This is my go to cigar. Burns even, and the draw is good. Goes great with bourbon, or just relaxing with a beer.

Petr Chemer01/26/2020About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

From the start, you are covered with a wealth of spices. Gradually, unexpected milky notes begin to unfold, which complement the more traditional woody, and sandalwood. And suddenly the sense of smell explodes the aroma of fresh cardamom, warm rich and pleasantly unexpected. The nostrils tickled, as if several splashes from a crushed crust had hit him. Gradually, the wealth of sensations expands. The taste of cocoa settles on the tongue. Fresh mint appears in the aroma, pleasant for a cigar of such a strength. However, it is balanced by light sweetness. And the harmony of tastes is maintained in its perfect condition. After the middle of the cigar, the aromas become heavier and tart. Sometimes there appear those for whom it is not possible to choose a suitable name, although it seems that it itself revolves in the language. The aromas of leather and sandalwood grow stronger, and the balance of pepper and vanilla plays on the tongue.

peter r.01/14/2020About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Not what I had hoped. The draw was too loose.The smoke output was awesome. Burn was very uneven. Taste was quite transitionless, except at the end, the strength kicked and I tasted a lot of dark licorice. And the wrapper cracked at the end too.

Aldo D.01/14/2020About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Medium-full bodied with cocoa and leather notes. Great under $10 stick

Chris P.01/03/2020About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Can’t go wrong with any La Historia but this one was truly exceptional and a great addition to the humidor. Also a great value.

One of my favorites from E.P. Carrillo.

Justin B.11/19/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

so good that I purchased a 10 count right away. Great balance of flavors and nice and slow burn with perfect draw

Matt F.10/25/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Pre light: Chocolate, leather and wood. 1/3: Earth, spice, mild pepper. Immediately starts out with a bad burn. Looks like there was a hollow spot near the foot. Requires a touch up. 2/3: Near the hour mark the burn finally straightens out. Not much going on with flavors. Some wood and nuttiness. 3/3: Cedar and more nuttiness. Flavors on this stick were very mediocre. That, mixed with the poor construction on this stick and it’s an easy pass. Final smoke time was just shy of 1.5 hrs. I won’t be smoking another one.

Chris M.10/04/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Smooth and subtle flavora with an effortless draw. The TAA version is richer so I'll stick to that.

James E.08/16/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Good, strong, flavorful cigar. A friend who knows I like Aladino suggested I try this to compare. He said it would hold itself up favorably. He was right! Excellent smoke!

Tony D.08/05/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia, 6-Cigar Sampler

The EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador is one of my favorite sticks so I had to try it's big brothers and I was not disappointed. More of a good thing!

Rafael N.07/30/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

This is my favorite blend from EP Carrilo. Full-bodied and a lot of coffee and flavors.

Carter M.07/29/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Signature Enersto Perez, brings with him all the great things he did at La Gloria and masterfully blends them into the La Historia. Excellent burn, construction, and flavor profile.

Tony D.07/24/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

So far this is my favorite of all time, just love the pepper and chocolate, it stays lit, burns evenly, looks cool, and make lots of smoke.

TD07/24/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Somewhere in the dozen samplers I smoked I got one of these and it was the first time I ever immediately knew I needed a box. I'm no aficionado but I know when I like something and this is one of them

Ralph S.06/27/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia, 6-Cigar Sampler

Didn't like the box press non notification

KUNIHIKO N.06/19/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

not bad. Delicious cigar.

Fred S.06/06/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Absolutely one of the finest cigars today. Beautifully crafted, notes of chocolate dominate the senses, along with subtle spicy flavors toward the end. A definite addition to my humidor.

Bill M.05/28/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Appearance was alright with a rough cap and some repairs down the body. Draw was average. Burn generally kept itself straight despite the wind. Tons of smoke. Aroma and taste were both above average, with big cocoa notes.

Subrata B.05/20/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Great.

ted y.05/20/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Amazing cigar and absolutely flawless. Taste, aroma and construction was perfect. In my opinion this cigar beats the Encore easily and the Encore was rated #1 in CA’s Top 25. This is a WINNER. Now if I could find someone willing to trade my box of the Encore for the Historia. Any takers?

Moses M.05/03/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Draw was a little tight and there was this sour profile that I kept getting but it did not impact the flavor overall. I bought a box and glad I did cause they are great smokes.

Chris P.04/29/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

This cigar was very smooth and very flavorful. I look forward to having another.

Joel E.04/21/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

The first time I ever had this I knew it was special. The taste is up there with the best and the appearance is striking. I absolutely love this cigar.

Chuck V.04/08/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Chocolaty , spicy goodness. I liked this one so much , I purchased a box.

Love them.

Chris M.03/13/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia, 6-Cigar Sampler

A great deal for some exceptional cigars. Got this using my reward points and I'm glad I did!

Michael M.03/11/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

A very nice smoke. The draw is perfect. Construction very good with nice wrapper. Burn not perfect but good the aroma is extremely pleasing. This is a strong smoke with an even taste. Not the very best taste but pretty good.

cesar n.03/07/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

Just fucking amazing. Big on flavor, smoke and aromatics. E.P. Carillo is the man!

Chris M.03/01/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

Yes!!! 5 stars across the board. I agree with the product description: "Deliciously rich in every way". Just put more in my next order. Box worthy all the way.

Josue C.02/20/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Michael S.01/14/2019About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Bought for my boss. Who was amazed at the each time he grabs one that I picked up for him. Has only beaming things to say about this one.

cesar n.12/28/2018About: EP Carrillo La Historia, 6-Cigar Sampler

Great sampler,

Devin C.12/22/2018About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

I feel like I should have stock in these cigars. I panic when I have less than 10 in my humidor. Excellent cigar. Even burn, nice amount of smoke output, and the taste is amazing. Not too sweet, not too peppery

cesar n.12/14/2018About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Good cigar, with nice burn and taste

Jose Franck D.12/12/2018About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Great stick. More enjoyable than the longer counterparts.

Jose Franck D.12/12/2018About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Good full-bodied cigar.

Jose Franck D.12/12/2018About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

This is a staple for a reason. Stronger than my usuals but this is quite a flavorful experience.

Norwood D.12/09/2018About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Fantastic smoke. Beautifully rolled and pressed. Creamy, cocoa chocolate, just right sweetness. Good draw. Glad I was able to try these. Great if you catch them on sale.

Jeffrey David G.12/01/2018About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

I keep coming back to this cigar about 2 or 3 times a year and it is a stunningly good smoke and what is really a steal price for the quality and outstanding carachter of this offering. My hat is off to Mr. Carrillo, his Mother, and family for what they have created with this great cigar and his esteemed inventory. Mr. Carrillo has experimented and taken many business risks to get where he is today, reflected in this fantastic cigar. My view....91-93. Bravo EPC!

Glen A.11/19/2018About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

One of the best cigars I have ever had, the look, the aroma, the draw and the taste are all perfect.

Brian S.10/30/2018About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

I normally smoke big bold cigars, such as Ligas, so was not sure what to expect with this one when a friend shared one with me. The day after I had it, I ordered a box. And since I ordered that box, I ordered another box. I am hooked and not to mention the price point is phenomenal!

Jose B.10/20/2018About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

This is probably one of the finest cigars you can get at this price. Beautifully presented with a smooth fulfilling draw. Taste slightly smoky and a good aroma. I highly recommend this cigar.

Doug C.10/18/2018About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

Great cigar!

alberto t.09/02/2018About: EP Carrillo La Historia, 6-Cigar Sampler

Excellent cigar, good presentation and smooth

Steve B.08/19/2018About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Big on taste. Unfortunately the draw was very tight throughout. Not something I like.

Mark E.07/17/2018About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Outstanding cigar.

Mark E.07/17/2018About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Nice EP Carrillo production, recommended

Doug C.06/07/2018About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Best San Andres wrapper ever! Chocolate nut, light sweet cinnamon flavors. Creamy, finished with anise flavor.

Doug C.05/14/2018About: EP Carrillo La Historia, 6-Cigar Sampler

The best San Andres wrapper cigar I have ever had. Chocolate nut, light sweet cinnamon flavors. Very creamy smoke that ended with anise flavor.

Jim L.04/15/2018About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Loose draw, plenty of smoke. Milk chocolate. Smooth. Dry, long finish. Earthy. Cedar. Little pepper. Hints of tea at the end. Interesting transitions. Very enjoyable.

James P.03/04/2018About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Great cigar. Not my favorite, but it's a good smoke. Slow even burn, good flavor, will keep some around

Daniel W.02/22/2018About: EP Carrillo La Historia, 6-Cigar Sampler

A great morning or midday cigar. Burns evenly. Although I generally prefer Nicaraguans Carrillo is clearly a genius.

Thomas F.12/13/2017About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Well balanced. Starts out smooth and creamy with sweet chocolate and berries with some pepper and leather whisping in and out. Draw is perfect with just the right amount of resistance. Burn is generally even but the ash likes to flower somewhat. Smoking time about 90 minutes.

InHyo C.12/12/2017About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

My New Favorites~~

Emil P.12/08/2017About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

This is the Mike Stanton of cigar. This one is a MVP, best of Carrillo. San Andres wrapper is outstanding. La historia has it all, spice, chocolate, coffee, dried fruits and all is well balanced. A+++

Marwan A.11/18/2017About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

A good cigar .. I recommend it

Arturo S.11/16/2017About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Strong but beautiful smoke; tons of smoke out of this cigar, pleasent as hell.

Antonio L.10/20/2017About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

An excellent cigar with wonderful taste (dark chocolate, nutty. espresso) and top quality construction.

andrew k.10/10/2017About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Provides a full spectrum of varying and deliciously complex, smooth flavors through a superior full-bodied 90 minute smoking experience. Buy this EP Carrillo La Historia E-III because it's gorgeous; smoke it because it's fabulous.

James S.10/06/2017About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

10/10 must try

steven h.10/04/2017About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

One of my "go to" cigars. Consistently good quality.

Joseph F.09/28/2017About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

If you like peppery cigars, this one will sure to please you. Peppery isnt my cup of tea, but ive had worse.

This cigar is medium-to-full-bodied with notes of coffee, cocoa, and black cherry which I just cant get enough of. Hands down, my favorite go to stick!

Felipe M.04/20/2017About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Good cigar for the price.

erik h.04/17/2017About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

no complaints. its a cigar i like to have once in a while. taste is a little to over bearing and is not a regular smoke for me to tolerate.

Felipe M.04/13/2017About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

First time trying this cigar and it was surprisingly good. Will definitely buy again.

Jason M.03/24/2017About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Nub worthy, box worthy, drool worthy... oh sorry, did i not mention that I LOVE THIS CIGAR. I had a box of the Core Line Club 52s and burned through them quickly. I wanted to try this one and the Oscuro to see what my next box will be. Hard decision but i think this will be it.

Tim F.03/19/2017About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Excellent cigar. definitely recommend.

Steven B.03/06/2017About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

Nice smooth smoke, one of my favorites

Jeffery Scott B.03/05/2017About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

I really enjoyed this smoke , my only regret is i didn't give myself enough time and had to cut it short. Strong and flavorful.

Joel T.02/13/2017About: EP Carrillo La Historia El Senador 5"3/8 * 52

Great taste and draw; so-so burn. Lots of cocoa and graham cracker and lots of smoke. Another winner from EPC

matt d.01/15/2017About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Solid stoogie, nice draw, good burn, and enjoyable right down to the stub

WT H.01/09/2017About: EP Carrillo La Historia E-III 6"7/8 * 54

Not surprisingly, this reminds of some of the best La Gloria offerings from back in the day. The cigar is beautiful in every way. The smoke gives that backbone of wood that defined all the older La Glorias. The nuances attach to that skeletal structure much as muscle and tissue do in the human body. This cigar is well deserving of its high rating. I give it a 93.

Tyler B.01/06/2017About: EP Carrillo La Historia Dona Elena 6"1/8 * 50

I had this stick sitting in my humidor for a few months and I figured it was about to to light it up. I have to say I was very impressed with the presentation and construction of this cigar, before lighting I got the impression I was definitely in store for something rather special. The cigar itself gives off a very potent aroma befor
