The mark of E.P. Carillo is one that is recognised by all Cuban cigar lovers and aficionados. Recognised and renowned for their Cuban heritage, the company continues to operate under the watchful eye of Ernesto Perez-Carillo, the son of the founder. Having owned two factories of the name El Credito, the first in their homeland of Cuba and the second in their new home of Miami, Ernesto Sr passed in 1980 leaving the factory to his son and current owner.
