EP Carrillo Encore Black 5 3/8 * 52, Box of 10

The Encore Black cigar was released by EP Carillo as a follow-up to their award-winning Encore cigar. It is a bolder and spicier reimagined version of the original with more layers of complexity. The blend’s dark, muscular Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper is supported by a Mexican San Andres binder and a Nicaraguan filler composed of leaves from Esteli, Condega, and Jalapa, regions well-known for their excellent tobaccos. The leaves are aged and undergo a meticulous hand-fermentation process, which contributes to the cigar’s unique flavor profile and enjoyment. The cigar’s memorable blend is matched by its superb construction and represents the Perez-Carrillo family’s passion and dedication to crafting memorable cigars.

Cigar Origin
Dominican Republic
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
The Dominican Republic is the world's first producer of cigars. Most factories are located in Santiago, in the center of the island, and in close proximity to the tobacco fields grown in the fertile Cibao Valley. While tobacco and cigars have always traditionally been produced in the Dominican Republic, many Cuban cigar makers established in the Dominican Republic after the Cuban communist revolution, elevating the quality of Dominican cigars.

Wrapper Color
Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).
Wrapper
USA Connecticut Broadleaf
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Connecticut Broadleaf is grown in the United States' Connecticut Valley and is prized for its dark, oily, full flavored and aromatic characteristics. The plants are grown in full sun giving this cigar wrapper its characteristic sweetness. The Connecticut Broadleaf plant leaves are mainly processed as maduro tobacco. Today, Connecticut Broadleaf seeds are being grown in other countries besides the United States.
Binder
Mexican San Andres
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
The San Andres region in Mexico is known for producing some of the best tobacco in the world. The tobacco is stalk cut and valued for its rich dark color and used to make noteworthy maduro wrappers and binders.

EPC doesn't disappoint with this one.

John S.10/30/2024About: EP Carrillo Encore Black 5"3/8 * 52

Great cigar! I can't decide whether I like the original or the black better. They both smoke really well

Jeremy H.10/21/2024About: EP Carrillo Encore Black 5"3/8 * 52

Excellent cigar that tastes just like a dark maduro should with plenty of dark coffee, dark chocolate and spice. Excellent draw and burn if it did smoke a little bit fast. Only the hefty price tag will prevent me from buying this one more often but a great special occasion smoke.

Harold B.10/13/2024About: EP Carrillo Encore Black 5"3/8 * 52

Excellent!!

Chris P.10/11/2024About: EP Carrillo Encore Black 5"3/8 * 52

Very enjoyable smoke.

ANDREW P.09/29/2024About: EP Carrillo Encore Black 5"3/8 * 52

Good cigar. A bit bolder than the original version.

Howard R.09/24/2024About: EP Carrillo Encore Black 5"3/8 * 52

The EP Carrillo Encore Black is a very good cigar, very similar to The Pledge which is my favorite of the two. The difference between the two is that I find that the Encore Black is more bold and potent than The Pledge.

Scott G.09/15/2024About: EP Carrillo Encore Black 5"3/8 * 52

I really enjoyed the original Encore but this cigar was even better! Flavor notes of wood, pepper and chocolate and overall another great entry from E.P. Carrillo.

Casey S.09/12/2024About: EP Carrillo Encore Black 5"3/8 * 52

It’s like a cigar in a tux

guillermo j M.09/11/2024About: EP Carrillo Encore Black 5"3/8 * 52

great cigar. I went back and bought a few more.

Matthew S.09/09/2024About: EP Carrillo Encore Black 5"3/8 * 52

I really enjoyed this cigar. I wish it was offered in a Toro but either way it's a great smoke.

James J.08/27/2024About: EP Carrillo Encore Black 5"3/8 * 52

I was looking so forward to this smoke because the original "Encore" greeted my palate with such favorable flavors... I received a nice warming spice with the retrohale but I never had any pepper burn like many reviews I read post smoking this cigar... To be honest I did enjoy the cigar until it turned "chalky" & it went straight downhill from there... I was heartbroken because I set aside a special time/place to review this cigar & with the original Encore being one of my favorite sticks, I looked & hoped big things were heading my way... Since the release of the original Encore things have taken steps backwards... my 5 packs of the "Pledge" & " La Historia" were very good but the 5-pack of "Allegiance" were all rolled very poorly & I was unable to smoke past the initial 3rd..... I even stopped enjoying Oliva cigars because they ruined my beloved EPC... The Encore Black is a cigar I would smoke again if it were given to me however I will not seek it out...

Yitzchok C.06/24/2024About: EP Carrillo Encore Black 5"3/8 * 52

I really enjoyed this one over the regular encore. Rich chocolate and spice, nice medium+ draw and burn were great as always with EP.

Evan S.04/05/2024About: EP Carrillo Encore Black 5"3/8 * 52

Another gem of a cigar from EPC. It takes Encore to another level. Medium+. Charred oak/wood, earthy, pepper, touch of floral notes, and vanilla cream on the finish. Goes great with a coffee or an old-fashioned drink. The sweetness and balance come through by the 2nd/3rd. Even burn and smooth easy draw. Nice aroma and taste. It was a quick burner so take your time with it. Final 3rd brings out that smoky EPC profile. The original flavors mellow out and becomes easier. But probably could be sold for only a dollar more than the original Encore Majestic. $17 is a bit harsh. Special occasion only cigar.

Randal G.04/01/2024About: EP Carrillo Encore Black 5"3/8 * 52

Hello, I am lucky enough to buy 2 boxes of the Encore Black. Both boxes contained cigars that were very dry. They were not ready to smoke right out of the box. A previous review of this cigar on this website stated his cigars were also very dry. However, I couldn’t wait to smoke a couple of these cigars. The two cigars I smoked were very good. I will smoke the others once they get to proper humidification. I found some reviews from other smokers that had the same comment about the cigars being less than the ideal humidification. Probably give the cigar a better review once they are able to be smoked.

Anthony T.03/23/2024About: EP Carrillo Encore Black 5"3/8 * 52

Received box of encore blacks super dry cigars reading 38%rh at the foot on humidity meter life never received cigars this dry ever, just thought you should know. God Bless

Paul W.03/13/2024About: EP Carrillo Encore Black 5"3/8 * 52

EP Carrillo Encore Black review Arrived yesterday, smoking one today. One day in my humidor with the cello on. Good flavor, no harsh burn, a bit of spice and leather. Nice ash but some uneven burn. That will correct after being in a humidor for a while and aging a bit. At the end of the first 3rd, the uneven burn(canoeing) straightened itself out with no touch up.(quality) Smooth retro hale but can still pick up the spice without harshness, dark espresso Into the 2nd 3rd(halfway) still has a consistent flavor profile. Spice, dark chocolate and earthy and espresso Last 3rd Still has a consistent flavor profile and has an even burn. The ash has remained consistent also. I rarely smoke a stick to the nub and using one finger and thumb to finish the quality smoke. I can see this being a high demand favorite
