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.

Was able to grab a box of these Encore Black Bullwarks at The GLCF 2025 before they really hit the market. What a wonderful blend that is balanced with full flavors of spice and sweetness in a hearty vitola! Great work

My New Favorite
5 September, 2025
A long-time fan of EPC and now an even bigger fan of Casa Carrillo. The original Encore was my first experience to the line and remains a favorite. That was followed by the Encore Black, Endure and 15th Anniversary (and yes, I’ve tried the full-line). However, for me the new Encore Black Bulwark has elevated the Casa Carrillo line to new heights. This cigars delivers across the board, appearance, lite, burn, draw, flavor, I think you get the point. In a nutshell, the first stick was an “Oh Wow” moment, and for the moment, my new favorite cigar!
