The E.P. Carrillo Encore Noir Edición Limitada stands as a bold evolution in the Encore series. Sporting a rich Ecuadorian wrapper, this cigar is crafted with a blend of Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers, giving it a robust yet balanced profile. At 5 3/8 inches with a 52 ring gauge, the Majestic No. 2 shape offers a smooth draw that unveils layers of dark, earthy notes with hints of pepper and cocoa. It strikes a fine balance between the original Encore's medium body and the stronger Encore Black, making it a versatile choice for aficionados seeking depth without overwhelming strength. With production capped at just 3,000 boxes, and a portion reserved for select U.S. events, this cigar is a rare find that promises a sophisticated smoking experience.
