EP Carrillo La Historia Parientes - Lonsdale
The Lonsdale format gives E.P. Carrillo La Historia Parientes a different presence within the line, stretching the blend into a slender 6 1/2 x 43 vitola introduced as an extension of one of the brand’s most celebrated releases. Rolled in the Dominican Republic, it uses the same core recipe that made La Historia a standout: a dark Mexican San Andres wrapper over an Ecuadorian binder and Nicaraguan fillers, presented in a box-pressed profile that adds to its distinctive look.
La Historia was created as a tribute to the Perez-Carrillo family, and Parientes carries that story into a narrower format that suits smokers who appreciate a more traditional ring gauge. Expect a full-bodied profile centered on dark cocoa, espresso, roasted nuts, earth, and pepper, with a measured pace that can reward roughly 70 to 90 minutes depending on how slowly it is smoked. This is a rich, concentrated expression of the blend rather than a departure from it, making it an appealing choice for smokers drawn to fuller flavors in a classic Lonsdale size.
