The E.P. Carrillo Encore El Primero is a masterful Nicaraguan puro crafted for aficionados who appreciate complexity and balance. Following the success of La Historia, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo created the Encore to showcase premium Nicaraguan tobaccos from Condega, Jalapa, and Estelí. As a result, this cigar delivers a deeply satisfying smoking experience with remarkable consistency and flavor.
As the second release in the Carrillo Family Series, the Encore quickly earned critical acclaim. The Majestic vitola was crowned Cigar Aficionado’s #1 Cigar of the Year in 2018 with a 96 rating. This recognition highlights the Encore El Primero’s flawless construction, rich flavor profile, and refined craftsmanship.
What sets the Encore El Primero apart is its tercio aging process. Each filler tobacco is wrapped in palm tree bark, allowing slow, natural fermentation that enhances aroma, depth, and complexity. Consequently, this process produces a well-balanced profile with notes of:
Cedar
Baking spices
Caramel
Subtle earthiness
The Encore El Primero features a beautiful reddish-brown box-pressed wrapper and a medium-to-full body. Smokers enjoy a smooth yet flavorful draw, even burn, and sweet-smelling smoke throughout.
