E.P. Carrillo's Encore pays homage to Ernesto's family, who has been in the cigar industry for generations. This blend is part of E.P.C's portfolio's 'Family Series,' which includes his best cigars. Hours and hours of blending and tweaking have gone into creating a cigar worthy of the Family Series moniker. This premium cigar's tobacco is entirely Nicaraguan. Tercios, a technique that many people no longer use, was used to age the tobacco. Tercios is when tobacco is bailed and wrapped in palm tree bark. This process imparts a distinct flavor profile to the tobacco. Ernest Perez-Carrillo is one of the world's best master blenders thanks to his passion for tobacco. After smoking this cigar, you'll want to light up another right away, hence the name Encore.
