Description
E.P. Carrillo Encore Majestic is the signature expression of the award-winning E.P. Carrillo Encore line, handcrafted by Ernesto Perez Carrillo at the family’s own factory in the Dominican Republic. Named Cigar of the Year by Cigar Aficionado, the Carrillo Encore Majestic delivers an enjoyable cigar experience defined by exceptional construction, rich smoke, and remarkable balance. This box pressed 5 3/8 x 52 toro showcases a premium Nicaraguan puro blend crafted with carefully aged Nicaraguan leaf tobacco and a flavorful Nicaraguan binder.
From the pre light draw and cold draw, E.P. Carrillo Encore Majestic reveals enticing aromas of baking spice, candied orange peel, and rich earth. After a straight cut, the great draw produces dense smoke filled with coffee notes, roasted nuts, caramel sweetness, and subtle earthy notes. The wrapper burns evenly with a razor sharp burn line, creating a top notch smoking experience with very few touch ups and virtually no burn issues.
During the first third, E.P. Carrillo Encore Majestic opens with medium body richness and just the right amount of pepper spice and sweetness. As the smoke moves into the second third and midway point, the flavor profile expands with peppery spice, smooth tobacco character, and a creamy aroma that lingers on the palate. The blend maintains great balance throughout the smoke, never overwhelming the smoker while still approaching medium full complexity and medium strength depth.
In the second half and final third, deeper notes of rich earth and roasted nuts emerge alongside hints reminiscent of La Gloria Cubana and La Historia. The long finish and smooth taste continue to impress cigar review enthusiasts searching for a better cigar in the medium range category.
Whether enjoyed alongside Encore Noir or Encore Black, E.P. Carrillo Encore Majestic stands as a modern classic within the Perez Carrillo Series and one of the top rated cigars available today. Shop E.P. Carrillo Encore Majestic cigars and experience the flavor, craftsmanship, and premium blend that define Casa Carrillo excellence.
