Encore
Awards
- Majestic: 2018 No. 1 Cigar of the Year – Cigar Aficionado rated 96
Taste – Medium Full-Flavored
Encore, a cigar celebrated as Ernesto’s greatest achievement in cigar craftsmanship. This exquisite cigar tantalizes the smoker’s palate with its complex flavor profile and exceptional quality.
From the first draw, the Encore cigar delivers an invigorating burst of zesty and spicy flavors, featuring a prominent peppery kick and refreshing citrus zest. As you continue to smoke, rich, woody notes emerge, providing a deep, earthy foundation reminiscent of aged cedar and oak. These robust woody flavors harmonize beautifully with the initial zestiness, creating a balanced and intricate taste experience.
The true allure of the Encore cigar lies in its luxurious, creamy finish. Each puff leaves a lasting impression with a smooth, velvety texture that delights the senses. The rich aromatic profile envelops you in a cloud of satisfying, aromatic smoke, making every moment with the Encore an indulgent journey.

This cigar is so well balanced. It’s not too mild or too strong. It is a perfect cigar.
The cigar that made me fall in love with cigars
12 November, 2024
Back in 2019, I had been a cigar fan, but just smoked whatever a friend had or a cigar lounge employee recommended. I saw Encore won cigar of the year, and decided to give it a try when I saw it in a shop – I was blown away. Since then, EP Carillo has been my go-to for personal smokes and recommendations to others.
