Description
E.P. Carrillo Encore is a modern classic crafted by legendary blender Ernesto Perez Carrillo at the family’s Dominican Republic factory. Celebrated by Cigar Aficionado and honored as a Cigar of the Year winner, E.P. Carrillo Encore delivers an enjoyable cigar experience filled with rich smoke, complexity, and outstanding craftsmanship. The acclaimed Carrillo Encore Majestic highlights the best qualities of the Encore line with a carefully balanced Nicaraguan puro blend featuring premium Nicaraguan leaf tobacco and a rich Nicaraguan binder.
From the pre light draw and cold draw, E.P. Carrillo Encore introduces notes of baking spice, candied orange peel, and rich earth. After a straight cut, the good draw opens into a smooth medium body smoke layered with coffee notes, roasted nuts, caramel sweetness, and earthy notes. The box pressed wrapper produces a razor sharp burn line with solid ash and minimal touch ups, making this a nice cigar for both seasoned smokers and newcomers exploring premium cigars.
As the first third transitions into the second third and midway point, the flavor profile develops with pepper spice, peppery spice, and balanced tobacco sweetness. E.P. Carrillo Encore maintains great balance throughout the smoke, never pushing too far into full territory while still offering medium full richness and medium strength complexity. The aroma remains smooth and refined with a long finish that cigar review enthusiasts consistently praise.
In the second half and final third, deeper flavors emerge with hints reminiscent of La Gloria Cubana and La Historia, showcasing the craftsmanship behind E.P. Carrillo Cigars and the Perez Carrillo Series. Whether comparing the Original Encore to Encore Noir or Encore Black, E.P. Carrillo Encore continues to rank among the top rated cigars in the medium range category.
