Casa Carrillo is the unified Perez-Carrillo family cigar company, one name for a legacy that evolved from the E.P. Carrillo marque into a portfolio spanning Perez-Carrillo, Essence, and INCH series. Master blender Ernesto Perez-Carrillo relaunched independent family operations in 2009 after leaving General Cigar / Swedish Match, building with his children (including Lissette of Kristoff). Headquarters culture sits in Miami; flagship production flows through Tabacalera La Alianza in Santiago's Zona Franca.
Cuban roots run through Ernesto's father and the El Credito / La Gloria Cubana Miami-to-corporate arc before the family rebuilt again under Casa Carrillo. Today's lines (Pledge, Encore, La Historia, Allegiance, INCH, and more) use Cuban-style finishing culture at La Alianza, which also contract-manufactures for Gurkha, Casdagli, Crowned Heads, Caldwell, and other outside brands on this graph.
