Here’s a bit of important EP Carrillo cigar trivia. The initials in E.P. Carrillo stands for Ernesto Perez. Yes, the same Ernesto Carrillo that brought us LA Gloria Cubana. What is not generally known is that Ernesto’s father started the El Credito cigar company back in Cuba in 1948 creating and owning La Gloria’s signature blend until Castro took over all the privately held companies in his Communist overthrow of the then standing government. When his family moved to Miami they relaunched El Credito where Ernesto learned the cigar making art from his Dad. When his Dad passed in 1980 Ernesto took the reins of the company through some very tough times before getting well deserved success in the early 90’s.
Ernesto is now one of the world’s Master Blenders. When he formed E.P. Carillo the industry knew what it was in for. Their Cuban style taste is more refined than most Cubans! Expertly made, aromatic, medium to full bodied and slow burning, all of Ernesto’s EP Carrillo cigars are must trys.
