The E.P. Carrillo Encore Valientes is a masterful cigar crafted exclusively from Nicaraguan-grown tobaccos. Following the success of La Historia, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo aimed to create another extraordinary blend. As a result, the Encore Valientes showcases the richness and depth of Nicaragua’s fertile volcanic regions—Condega, Jalapa, and Estelí—providing a uniquely flavorful smoking experience.
As the second release in the Carrillo Family Series, the Encore quickly gained acclaim. In fact, the Majestic vitola was named #1 Cigar of the Year in 2018 by Cigar Aficionado with a remarkable 96 rating. Therefore, this recognition underscores the cigar’s exceptional quality and refined complexity.
Encore Valientes undergoes the tercios fermentation process, where Ernesto Perez-Carrillo tightly wraps filler tobaccos in palm tree bark. This method:
Enhances natural fermentation
Maintains two-way humidity for optimal aging
Intensifies the cigar’s flavors and aromas
Consequently, the process produces a beautifully box-pressed reddish-brown cigar with a medium-to-full-bodied profile.
Each puff delivers a balanced combination of:
Sweet, rich aromas
Notes of cedar and baking spices
Subtle earthy undertones
Smooth, effortless draw with an even burn
Moreover, the Encore Valientes pays homage to the excellence of La Historia, offering refined complexity and a memorable smoking experience.
Crafted exclusively from Nicaraguan tobaccos
Tercios-aged filler for depth and consistency
Award-winning cigar with critical acclaim
Medium-to-full body with smooth draw and even burn
Ideal for collectors and aficionados seeking premium cigars
In summary, the E.P. Carrillo Encore Valientes delivers sophistication, complexity, and a true Nicaraguan puro. Additionally, it elevates any cigar collection, making it a must-have for enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike.
