Casa Carillo Allegiance Confidant

HISTORY

Born in Cuba, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo was inducted into the Cigar Aficionado Hall of Fame in 2012, joining the greats of the cigar-making industry. All the titans of the industry have very different backgrounds and have overcome a host of obstacles to reach the top of the premium cigar industry, but they all share the two traits that success is built upon: passion and drive.

With over 50 years devoted to the industry, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo and his family are the recipients of Cigar Aficionado’s 2018 No. 1 Cigar title with the Encore Majestic and again in 2020 with the Pledge Prequel. They are also the No. 1 Cigar 2023 rated by the influential Cigar Journal magazine with Allegiance Confidant, and in December 2024, the Encore Majestic was awarded UK Cigar of the Year at a special ceremony in London.

Allegiance

A collaboration between Casa Carillo and Oliva Cigars. The Allegiance is expertly rolled with an 8th priming Sumatra wrapper from Ecuador’s renowned Quevedo region. It’s paired with carefully selected Nicaraguan binders and fillers, creating a rich, smooth, and complex flavour profile that makes for a seriously enjoyable smoke.

The Allegiance Confidant was rated No.1 Cigar of 2023 by Cigar Journal.
