E.P. Carrillo Encore Black Bulwarks 6" * 58

Rich spiciness and irresistible sweetness greet the palate from first light to final puff in the E.P. Carrillo Encore Black Bulwarks, a new perfecto vitola in the Encore Black line. Draped in a muscular USA Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, it pairs a Mexican San Andrés binder with Nicaraguan fillers from Condega, Estelí, and Jalapa—each aged for at least three years and hand-fermented for 18 months. Rested an additional six months after rolling, this medium-full to full-bodied cigar showcases deep complexity, expertly handcrafted in the Dominican Republic into what feels like another obvious Carrillo delight.

  EP Carrillo Encore Black

  The Encore Black cigar was released by EP Carillo as a follow-up to their award-winning Encore cigar. It is a bolder and spicier reimagined version of the original with more layers of complexity. The blend’s dark, muscular Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper is supported by a Mexican San Andres binder and a Nicaraguan filler composed of leaves from Esteli, Condega, and Jalapa, regions well-known for their excellent tobaccos. The leaves are aged and undergo a meticulous hand-fermentation process, which contributes to the cigar’s unique flavor profile and enjoyment. The cigar’s memorable blend is matched by its superb construction and represents the Perez-Carrillo family’s passion and dedication to crafting memorable cigars.

Today, cigar makers use square shaped molds or a wooden trunk press for their box pressed cigars, achieving a more defined square section.
