Introducing Encore Black by Casa Carrillo – A Masterful Blend of Heritage and Taste
The Encore Black features a bold Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, paired with a binder from Mexico’s San Andrés Valley.

This blend is a journey through taste, delivering complex, layered flavors that define the Encore Black.
INTRODUCING
Encore Black Bulwarks
Crafted in an elegant Perfecto vitola (6×58), the Bulwarks features the same celebrated blend that defines Encore Black. Wrapped in a bold Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro, with a San Andrés binder and Nicaraguan fillers from three distinct regions, this cigar delivers the rich, complex profile our fans have come to expect.
The Encore Black: Unveiling a Legacy
Casa Carrillo Cigars proudly presents the Encore Black, an exquisite successor to the 2018 Cigar of the Year. This masterful creation embodies over a century of the Perez-Carrillo family’s devotion to the art of cigar making. The Encore Black, a testament to tradition and innovation, is a must-try for cigar aficionados.
The Art of Cigar Making - A Family Legacy

After 18 months of fermentation and three years of aging, this blend showcases the unique richness and complexity of the Broadleaf. Combined with a San Andres Mexican binder and fillers from Nicaragua, the Encore Black is a true labor of love from the Perez-Carrillo family to yours.

Make Mine a Bulwarks

I’ve sampled many cigars in various vitolas, but the Encore Black in Bulwarks, takes this already incredible blend to another level. There’s a balance that’s achieved in this perfecto, that exceeds the flavors and smoking experience of the parejo. Try it, and you too will be a fan.

Can’t even begin to describe this cigar. Excellent cocoa notes and great sweetness! I love the Bullworks as well, can bring out cherry notes with a light bourbon.
Must Try

Simply put, it’s greatness! Wouldn’t have expected anything less when this blend was released. Another home run by Casa Carrillo!
Broadleaf Gem

So many high quality, well renowned Broadleaf wrapped cigars yet this might be the best of them all. The smooth, chocolatey, spicy consistency in this one can’t be topped.
Encore Black is a Wonderful Treat

My friends and I enjoy the Encore Black when I’m out on vacation visiting. Between this and the Bulwarks, it has a nice draw and sweetness, spice and chocolate notes. It’s definitely worth a try!

The encore and encore black are both tremendous. Well worth the price of admission and deserving of the awards they’ve received. Flavor galore and options for most people’s smoking preference.
