Taste – Medium Full-Flavored

Encore, a cigar celebrated as Ernesto’s greatest achievement in cigar craftsmanship. This exquisite cigar tantalizes the smoker’s palate with its complex flavor profile and exceptional quality.

From the first draw, the Encore cigar delivers an invigorating burst of zesty and spicy flavors, featuring a prominent peppery kick and refreshing citrus zest. As you continue to smoke, rich, woody notes emerge, providing a deep, earthy foundation reminiscent of aged cedar and oak. These robust woody flavors harmonize beautifully with the initial zestiness, creating a balanced and intricate taste experience.

The true allure of the Encore cigar lies in its luxurious, creamy finish. Each puff leaves a lasting impression with a smooth, velvety texture that delights the senses. The rich aromatic profile envelops you in a cloud of satisfying, aromatic smoke, making every moment with the Encore an indulgent journey.

Encore Majestic

20 March, 2026

I smoked the Encore with very high expectations since it’s a former number one in California. From the first puff to the last, this cigar blew my mind! It’s definitely worth trying all the vitolas! You Can check my review @The_cigar_rookie

Great notes

Such a good cigar that I smoke often in the evening when winding down from a long day. Love the spice in this and goes great with bourbon or rum 🔥

The Hook

17 March, 2026

I jokingly call it “the hook” because it catches cigar enthusiast just like a lure to a bass. I introduced this one to a few of my friends that never experienced Casa Carrillo and they were easily sold on the brand. Love the Encore.

I’m new to cigars, smoked a few over the years, Once I learned how to smoke one correctly, I was all in. The last 2 years I’ve tried dozens of sticks, I always come back to this one. The description of this cigar speaks volumes. It’s one of my go to cigars.

Don't take our word for it

Achievements like this are the confluence of skill, talent and experience. In his 50-year career, Perez-Carrillo has owned factories big and small, worked for a major corporation, and has been making cigars on his own terms for the last decade. Now a two-time Cigar of the Year recipient, the man who’s done it all in the cigar business has just done it again.
