E.P. Carrillo Encore Valientes – Premium Nicaraguan Puro
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.
Award-Winning Legacy
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.
Unique Fermentation Process
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.
Flavor Profile
Each puff delivers a balanced combination of:
-
Sweet, rich aromas
-
Notes of cedar and baking spices
-
Subtle earthy undertones

Moreover, the Encore Valientes pays homage to the excellence of La Historia, offering refined complexity and a memorable smoking experience.
