E.P. Carrillo Encore Black is crafted from extensively aged tobaccos selected to deliver richness, structure, and controlled intensity. The blend is anchored by Nicaraguan fillers from Condega, Estelí, and Jalapa, each aged for a minimum of three years and hand fermented for eighteen months before rolling. These fillers are bound by a Mexican San Andrés binder and finished with a muscular USA grown Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper that deepens the cigar’s profile with natural sweetness and weight. After rolling, the cigars are rested an additional six months to allow the blend to fully harmonize. Medium to full in strength, it opens with bold spice and dark sweetness, followed by layers of cocoa, roasted coffee, and earthy undertones that build steadily across the palate. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving lingering impressions of pepper, dark chocolate, and warm tobacco richness. This cigar pairs exceptionally well with barrel proof bourbon, dark rum, peated scotch, or a strong espresso. Encore Black stands as a refined yet powerful expression, respected for its depth, patience driven aging, and polished execution.
