After joining Casa Carrillo in 2017, McKoy's experiences and dedication to service inspired Ernesto Perez-Carrillo to create a commemorative cigar honoring America's veterans, military personnel, and first responders. Battleborn is more than another limited release; it's a tribute to the individuals who put others before themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHandcrafted in the \u003cb\u003eDominican Republic\u003c\/b\u003e, the \u003cb\u003e2026 E.P.
