EP Carrillo Encore was developed as a family-series release and became especially notable as Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s first blend made entirely from Nicaraguan tobacco. Produced at Tabacalera La Alianza in the Dominican Republic, the line uses Nicaraguan wrapper, binder, and fillers drawn from Jalapa, Condega, and Estelí, bringing together the distinct character of those growing regions in one collection.
Rather than aiming for sheer power, Encore is known for a composed, medium-to-full profile built around cedar, earth, pepper, nuts, and a measured natural sweetness. Part of its identity comes from tobaccos aged in tercios, a traditional method that helped shape the line’s rounded texture and balance. That combination of Nicaraguan depth and restrained presentation gave the series a clear place within the EP Carrillo portfolio.
The line’s reputation was cemented when the Encore Majestic received a 96 rating and was named Cigar Aficionado’s No. 1 Cigar of 2018. That recognition attached to a specific vitola, but it also underscored the broader significance of Encore as one of the defining releases of Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s later career. ...Read More
This cigar burns good, easy draw. And good flavor. But, not as great as the Oliva V Natural. You should try this stick.

Cigars came fast & well humidified. I have only been able to enjoy The Pledge, Encore due to this Northeast weather but it was delicious! I'm only about a year into being a cigar guy but I've realized that I like the heavier more complex tastes. Mike's has been my go to through my cigar journey! I love these guys!

EP Carrillo Trilogy
Two Number Ones and One Number Two
Where else can you get 2 Number Ones and One Number two rated cigars by Cigar Aficionado, including the highest rated cigar ever for the price of $35. Only at Mikes, This is a steal of a deal. My favorite of the bunch is the Pledge Prequel. Its dark, oily, maduro wrapper almost looks to go to smoke. I watched mine for 6 months in my humidor before I gave it a puff. I don't have the most distinguished palate but I could definitely taste black cherry and the blast of pepper (my favorite). These cigars should be in everyone's humidor.
Another great smoke from EP Carrillo that should be tried by all, love all 3 of the sampler now I need to try the Allegiance.
