E.P. Carrillo’s La Historia TAA 656 Heads to Stores This Week
A limited edition size of E.P. Carrillo’s La Historia line is heading to a select group of retailers this week, as the company announced it is ready to start shipping the La Historia TAA 656.
The cigar is an exclusive for members of the Tobacconists’ Association of America, approximately 80 of the countries top retailers that represent some of the highest volume stores in the cigar business. As the name suggests, it measures 6 x 56, a toro gordo that like the rest of the line uses a Mexican wrapper, Ecuadoran Sumatra binder and Nicaraguan fillers. It is produced at the company’s Tabacalera La Alianza S.A. factory in the Dominican Republic.
It will arrive at stores with an MSRP of $11.50 and will come packaged in 10-count boxes. Lissette Perez-Carrillo told halfwheel that the company is producing 1,000 boxes, making for a total release of just 10,000 cigars.
The La Historia line is also available in four regular production sizes:
- La Historia El Senador (5 3/8 X 52)
- La Historia Doña Elena (6 1/8 X 50)
- La Historia E-III (6 7/8 X 54)
- La Historia Regalias D’ Celia Piramides (5 7/8 X 58)
The first three sizes debuted in 2014, with the Regalias D’ Celia Piramides added in 2015.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
