EP Carrillo Encore El Futuro – Robusto
EP Carrillo Encore El Futuro – Robusto
Built around aged Nicaraguan tobaccos and finished in a classic 5 x 50 Robusto, EP Carrillo Encore El Futuro – Robusto delivers the same family-blended character that made the Encore line one of Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s most celebrated creations. This is a Nicaraguan puro made at Casa Carrillo in the Dominican Republic, offering a rich, polished profile without losing its natural balance.
Expect a medium-to-full-bodied smoke with notes of spice, cedar, earth, and a gentle sweetness that lingers on the finish. The Robusto format keeps the blend focused and satisfying, making it well suited to smokers who enjoy layered flavor in a shorter session. Smoked at an unhurried pace, the 5 x 50 size usually offers about 40 to 55 minutes of smoking time.
Encore remains especially notable in the E.P. Carrillo portfolio for the recognition the line earned as Cigar Aficionado’s 2018 Cigar of the Year. El Futuro gives that acclaimed blend a more compact presentation while preserving the depth, aging potential, and old-world character that have made Encore a humidor staple for many seasoned smokers.
