INTRODUCING

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 Magnificent E.P. Carrillo Encore Black
5 September, 2025
The E.P. Carrillo Encore Black is a cigar that commands attention from the first light. True to the Encore line’s reputation, it delivers a refined, layered smoking experience with a bold twist. The construction is flawless firm to the touch, even burn, and a razor-sharp ash that holds beautifully.
Flavor wise, this cigar leans rich and complex. The opening greets you with notes of dark cocoa and toasted oak, gradually unfolding into espresso, leather, and a subtle pepper that lingers on the retrohale. Midway through, the body deepens with hints of dried fruit sweetness and earth, giving the profile balance and character. The final third delivers a crescendo of intensity, with the flavors melding into a full-bodied but never overwhelming finish.
What stands out most about the Encore Black is its ability to deliver power with sophistication. It’s bold, but never harsh perfect for seasoned smokers looking for a memorable, contemplative experience. Best enjoyed slowly, with time to appreciate the transitions, this cigar is a worthy addition to the E.P. Carrillo legacy.
Rating: 9/10 A masterful balance of strength, complexity, and craftsmanship
