E.P. Carrillo Encore Black by E.P. Carrillo is a bold and luxurious evolution of the award-winning Encore line, crafted for aficionados who crave deeper richness and intensity while maintaining the brand’s signature balance and refinement. Handcrafted at Tabacalera La Alianza S.A. in the Dominican Republic, this cigar showcases Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s mastery in creating blends that combine strength, complexity, and elegance.

This 5⅜ x 52 Box-Pressed Robusto features a dark, oily Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper over a San Andrés binder and a core of aged Nicaraguan fillers from Estelí, Condega, and Jalapa. The result is a medium-to-full-bodied smoke that delivers depth, character, and refined power.

The flavor profile opens with notes of espresso, dark chocolate, and black pepper, followed by undertones of toasted oak, molasses, and sweet spice. As it develops, creamy cocoa and earthy richness emerge, leading to a long, velvety finish that perfectly balances strength and sophistication.
