(Quantity : 1 Cigar) Casa Carrillo Allegiance Confidant – 95-Rated Premium Toro | CigarHaus
The Casa Carrillo Allegiance Confidant is a sophisticated, medium-to-full-bodied 6” × 52 box-pressed Toro created through a collaboration between Ernesto Perez-Carrillo and Oliva Cigar Co. Rolled in Nicaragua, Allegiance combines an 8th-priming Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos.
Rich, balanced and complex, the Confidant develops a distinctive sweet-and-spicy profile with wood, cinnamon, nutmeg, gingerbread and pepper. Its combination of complexity and smooth construction helped earn it 95 points and the No. 5 Cigar of 2023 from Cigar Aficionado.

Why It Stands Out
The Allegiance is particularly interesting because it’s a true collaboration between two major cigar-making families. Ernesto Perez-Carrillo developed the blend, while Oliva produces the cigar in Nicaragua, combining Carrillo’s blending style with Oliva’s Nicaraguan tobacco and manufacturing expertise.
The Confidant became the standout vitola of the line. Beyond Cigar Aficionado’s 95-point, No. 5 Cigar of 2023 recognition, Casa Carrillo notes that Cigar Journal named the Confidant its No. 1 Top New Cigar of the Year for 2023.

Perfect For

Pairing Suggestions
Pair it with bourbon, aged rum, single malt Scotch, espresso or dark-roast coffee. The cigar’s cinnamon, nutmeg, gingerbread and woody sweetness should work particularly well with a bourbon that carries vanilla, caramel and oak characteristics.
