A bold cigar with a deep complexity and a rich spiciness underscored by an irresistible sweetness that will greet your palate from first light to last puff. A muscular USA Connecticut Broadleaf maduro wrapper cloaks a Mexican San Andres binders and filler leaves from Condega, Esteli, and Jalapa, which are three of Nicaragua’s top-tobacco growing regions. Each leaf of this three-nation blend has been aged for at least three years and have been hand-fermented for 18 months. Once rolled, the cigars rest for six months in an aging room. This meticulous aging and fermentation process contribute to the cigar’s deep layers of complexity. The EP Carrillo Encore Black is handmade in the Dominican Republic.
