Description
E.P. Carrillo Encore Celestial is a standout release in the acclaimed E.P. Carrillo Encore line, handcrafted by legendary blender Ernesto Perez Carrillo at the family’s Dominican Republic factory. This elegant 6 1/8 x 50 toro showcases the artistry behind EP Carrillo Cigars with a refined Nicaraguan puro blend built around premium Nicaraguan leaf tobacco and a rich Nicaraguan binder. Recognized by cigar review enthusiasts and praised by Cigar Aficionado, E.P. Carrillo Encore Celestial delivers an enjoyable cigar experience filled with complexity, balance, and rich smoke.
From the pre light draw and cold draw, E.P. Carrillo Encore Celestial introduces notes of baking spice, candied orange peel, and rich earth. After a straight cut, the great draw opens effortlessly, producing dense smoke layered with coffee notes, roasted nuts, caramel sweetness, and earthy notes. The box pressed wrapper burns beautifully with a razor sharp burn line, firm ash, and minimal touch ups throughout the smoke.
The first third begins with a smooth medium body profile featuring just the right amount of pepper spice and sweetness. As the cigar moves into the second third and midway point, the flavor profile deepens with peppery spice, creamy tobacco richness, and a refined aroma that lingers on the palate. E.P. Carrillo Encore Celestial maintains great balance from start to finish, staying within the medium range while occasionally edging toward medium full complexity without entering full territory.
In the second half and final third, richer layers of tobacco, rich earth, and roasted nuts emerge alongside subtle hints reminiscent of La Gloria Cubana and La Historia. The long finish and smooth taste continue to impress aficionados searching for a better cigar with top notch construction and exceptional flavor.
Whether enjoyed alongside Encore Noir, Encore Black, or the celebrated Carrillo Encore Majestic, E.P. Carrillo Encore Celestial stands among the top rated cigars in the Perez Carrillo Series.
