If you're familiar with the EP Carrillo La Historia line I'm sure you know, some shops have trouble keeping these stocked. But not here, this cigar is a personal favorite of mine, so unless it's back ordered we stock it. This cigar is Dominican fillers and binders with a Mexican grown Maduro leaf around it. It delivers a rich Maduro flavor that lasts ages on the palate. I consider this a perfect after dinner cigar, the slightly pressed format gives it an even burn and draw. I've gone through about 4 boxes of this cigar since it's debut, and I've never had a bad one out of 40 sticks. Never an ugly wrapper, never an uneven burn or draw, never a dud with these cigars. EP Carrillo takes his time and only releases cigars that are ready for the aficionado, and because of that I thoroughly support Cigar Aficionado's opinion, this cigar was awarded #2 cigar of 2014 by the magazine. I have a box of these that turns a year old today and I'm excited to see what a 1 year vintage does to this excellent blend by EP Carrillo. Tune in later this week for my review of the La Historia E-III after one year in the humidor!
