Casa Carrillo is proud to announce that Battleborn Warriors and the Endure Corona Gorda are officially shipping this week to select retailers across the US.<\/p>\n
Battleborn: Honoring Veterans and First Responders<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n
The inspiration came from Lionel H. McKoy, a U.S. Navy veteran and long-time member of the Casa Carrillo family, whose two decades of military service and dedication embody the spirit behind the line.<\/p>\n
\u201cBattleborn is about respect \u2014 rolled into every leaf,\u201d said Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr. \u201cIt\u2019s our way of recognizing those who protect, serve, and endure for the sake of others.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Battleborn Warriors (6 x 56 Toro Gordo) features a Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper over dual binders from Mexico and Nicaragua. 2,500 individually numbered boxes of 20 cigars were produced, each including a Battleborn-logoed dog tag. MSRP is $22 per cigar or $440 per box. Shipping begins this week in advance of Veterans Day Nov. 11th.<\/p>\n
Casa Carrillo will host Battleborn events nationwide in collaboration with retailers, with proceeds benefiting charities that support veterans and first responders. The debut event took place on September 20 at Finck\u2019s Lone Star Cigar Bash in San Antonio, Texas, where Casa Carrillo donated $6,000 from box sales to the Fisher House Foundation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThrough Carrillo Cares, we\u2019ve always believed our cigars should do more than deliver great flavor,\u201d said Lissette Perez-Carrillo. \u201cThey should give back to those who\u2019ve given so much. Supporting veterans and first responders is an honor that continues to inspire us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Endure Corona Gorda<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n
Alongside Battleborn, Casa Carrillo is releasing the limited production Endure Corona Gorda (6 x 46) \u2014 a new vitola in the Endure series. The cigar features a wrapper leaf grown in Cameroon by the Meerapfel family.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to get these cigars into the hands of our loyal supporters,\u201d said Lissette Perez-Carrillo. \u201cBoth blends represent what Casa Carrillo stands for \u2014 innovation rooted in tradition, and a shared story told through every puff.\u201d<\/p>\n
Boxes contain 10 cigars. MSRP is $18 per cigar or $180 per box.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Consumers can find Battleborn Warriors and Endure Corona Gorda at select Casa Carrillo retailers nationwide beginning later this week.
