Carrillo

Led by the legendary Ernesto Perez-Carrillo, a man often called the “Godfather of Boutique Cigars,” the E.P. Carrillo brand is a testament to a lifetime of passion and mastery. After creating the iconic La Gloria Cubana that became a sensation in the 90s, Ernesto founded his own family-run brand to focus on small-batch, artisanal cigars. His efforts have been met with the highest honors, including multiple #1 Cigar of the Year awards, cementing his legacy as one of the all-time great master blenders. 

Here at Stixx Cigar House, we are proud to feature an unparalleled collection that showcases the genius of E.P. Carrillo. From the award-winning, full-bodied Pledge with its notes of spicy oak and black cherry to the complex and earthy Encore, our selection is a journey through his greatest hits. We also feature the personal La Historia, the innovative large-ring-gauge Inch, and the uniquely flavorful New Wave Connecticut, ensuring we have a celebrated Carrillo blend for every aficionado.
