Casa Carrillo's America-250 Rocket Sells at $1,000 a Humidor

Ernesto Perez-Carrillo is going all-in on the 250th anniversary of the United States. Pledge of Allegiance Rockets ships September 28 as 250 individually numbered humidors, each holding twenty cigars across two blends: a red-banded cigar with Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper over a Pennsylvania 41 binder, and a blue-banded version with Pennsylvania Broadleaf outside and Havana-seed Connecticut inside. Every leaf is American-grown and aged three to five years, both vitolas a hefty 6 3/8 x 58. The price is patriotic in the extreme: $50 a cigar, $1,000 for the humidor, with a portion directed to military and veteran initiatives through Casa Carrillo Cares. Between the all-US tobacco, the dual-blend format, and the numbered humidors, this is built squarely for the commemorative-collector shelf.
