Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr. follows in the footsteps of his father, who established a Cuban cigar factory in 1948 before moving to Miami. The E.P. is handcrafted in the Dominican Republic at the Carrillos factory. Carrillo Encore is a Nicaraguan puro that is intended to be a follow-up to the brand's critically acclaimed La Historia cigar. The Encore, as the name suggests, is part two of La Historia's renowned performance, offering an elegantly complex flavor profile of earth and spice for a full-bodied smoke balanced by a hint of complementary sweetness.
