Casa Carrillo has unveiled La Historia Silk, a cigar that blends heritage, craftsmanship, and innovation while honoring the voices of women across the cigar industry. Inspired by conversations with female retailers, aficionados, and leaders, Silk was crafted to reflect inclusivity and elegance while staying true to the Perez-Carrillo legacy.
Released in a 6 x 52 Toro format with a refined medium strength, La Historia Silk also holds a special place in the family’s history as the first round-format Perez-Carrillo cigar released in the United States. The cigar debuts with new Casa Carrillo branding, with the name prominently displayed on the foot band to mark the company’s evolution.
Silk features an Ecuador Habano wrapper from Quevedo that has been carefully fermented and aged for 18 months, paired with a Nicaragua Estelí binder. The filler combines tobaccos from Nicaraguan Estelí, Philadelphia Broadleaf, Dominican La Canela, and Mexican San Andrés, elevated by the rare use of Pelo de Oro from the Dominican Republic—a notoriously difficult leaf to cultivate, but one prized for its depth and richness.
Produced in limited runs several times a year, La Historia Silk will ship in waves to select retailers nationwide and to international partners. The first run totals just 1,500 boxes of 10 cigars, each priced at $16.50.
“Silk was born from listening,” said Lissette Perez-Carrillo, Co-Owner of Casa Carrillo. “It reflects the stories and insights of women in our industry, while being crafted for all cigar lovers. Having it be the first release to carry the Casa Carrillo name on its foot band makes it even more meaningful—it’s a symbol of our evolution and the future we’re building.”
Adding to the project’s significance, Lissette’s daughter, Skye, representing the fifth generation of the Carrillo family, contributed to the development of La Historia Silk, reinforcing the bond between heritage and innovation.
La Historia Silk begins shipping next week, offering retailers and consumers alike the chance to experience this latest expression of the Perez-Carrillo family’s artistry.
