E.P. Carrillo Encore Celestial by E.P. Carrillo is a masterpiece of balance, depth, and refinement from one of the most celebrated cigar makers in the world. Handcrafted at Tabacalera La Alianza S.A. in the Dominican Republic, the Encore line represents Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s passion for perfection—offering a beautifully complex Nicaraguan puro aged to deliver exceptional smoothness and harmony.

This 6.125 x 50 Toro (Celestial) features a silky, reddish-brown Nicaraguan Habano wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers from the country’s most prestigious growing regions. The tobaccos are carefully aged and married together in “tercios” (palm bark bales) to achieve a remarkably balanced flavor profile.

The smoke opens with notes of cedar, roasted nuts, and sweet spice, evolving into rich tones of caramel, earth, and espresso. Midway through, subtle hints of dried fruit and cocoa emerge, followed by a long, creamy finish with gentle pepper and natural sweetness. The result is a medium-to-full-bodied experience that is both refined and deeply satisfying.
