The second in EP Carrillo's Family Series, the Encore is a medium to full-bodied 100% Nicaraguan puro with a very special secret. The tobacco used in making this cigar is cured and aged in "tercios", which is when yagua (palm tree bark) is wrapped around the tobacco to create bales that are then aged for 2 years. This process allows a natural two-way humidification system to form; humidity is automatically exchanged between the yagua and the tobacco as needed, letting the tobacco breathe optimally and age in the most desirable way. Notes of rich earth and tinges of both sweetness and spice come together to provide a smooth and sophisticated smoke you'll crave again and again. Experience the next entry into the already historic Family Series by E.P. Carrillo.

Great tasting smoke. Gonna order more
Mike Dauria · Majestic · Fri Oct 16
Good cigar. Brown sugar notes and woody.
Sean Harris · Celestial · Fri Oct 09
Encore was a solid cigar, though I still prefer the Pledge. I’m glad I tried it, but if I’m buying more Carrillo, the Pledge gets my money first.
SMOOTH. Construction was flawless. All notes are very subtle. The box was beautiful too. At this price if youre curious its a must buy and try
Claude Pettis · El Primero · Mon Jul 27
Very good. Lots of smoke. Smooth and balanced. Burn slightly off wrapper unpeeled but able to touch up. The great flavor made the slight construction issues easy to ignore. Carillo does it again! I will buy again.
