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 For Life

24 April, 2025

When the Encore blend first hit the shelves I saw them in a tobacco shop in Virginia. At that time you could only buy 1 per customer. I smoked it right on the spot. I was so impressed, I went back into the mall and grabbed my wife and sister-in-law to grab me two more. I have a few boxes in my rotation right now.

Encore, best of the best

A friend introduced me to EPC with a La Historia. I went back and grabbed an encore after that experience and haven’t looked back. It’s now the choice I give to all friends looking to try a premium cigar, and haven’t experienced EPC.

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.
