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 is in my usual morning rotation. Both the Majestic and the Celestial give a balanced, complex smoke that just starts the day off right. One of my favorites.
High expectations realized!

I selected this cigar this morning not really knowing anything about it other than it being from a true legend. It’s pairing well with a nice dark roast coffee. I’m gonna have to get a few more. Carrillo has never disappointed me. Perfect construction and burn. It’s from a sampler that I now can’t wait to try the other 2. Nice woody notes of cedar and oak without being too heavy.

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

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 🔥
