Casa Carrillo

The platinum-banded cigar beat out the red- and gold-banded versions and now gets a limited production release.

The second limited edition in Crowned Heads Four Kicks Capa Especial line is the longest and thinnest vitola so far, a 7 1/2 x 38 lancero that is limited to 2,500 boxes of 12 cigars.

The Le Carême Pastelitos LE 2023 is named after a famed French chef and a classic Cuban puff pastry.

The Perez-Carrillo Pledge Firecracker will go on sale in June.

The 7 1/2 x 38 lancero is priced at $11.95 per cigar and production is limited to 30,000 cigars.

The line had been made at Tabacalera Pichardo in Nicaragua prior to the move.

The fourth size—and second limited edition—in the Perez-Carrillo Pledge line is heading to stores.

This is the second limited edition vitola for the Four Kicks Capa Especial line and the third Crowned Heads blend offered as a limited edition lancero.

It is the first time the line has been released since its debut in June 2017.

Vandermarliere Family of Cigars has brought back Cuba Aliados—a Honduran brand made popular by the late Rolando Reyes Sr. in the 1990s—by introducing two distinct blends: the Cuba Aliados by Ernesto Perez-Carrillo is a limited edition release made by E.P. Carrillo while the Cuba Aliados Original Blend is a regular production line being made Julio Eiroa of JRE Tobacco Co.

This will be the second Paniolo Especiale release to be made at Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr.’s Tabacalera La Alianza S.A.
