EP Carrillo Encore Valientes - Torpedo
Released as part of Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s Family Series, the EP Carrillo Encore Valientes is a box-pressed torpedo that showcases the line’s all-Nicaraguan blend in a more tapered, focused format. This is the same Encore family that helped elevate the brand’s modern reputation, with the line earning major acclaim for its rich balance and polish rather than sheer strength.
Made in the Dominican Republic, the Valientes measures 6 1/8 x 52 and features Nicaraguan tobaccos throughout. Expect a medium to full-bodied profile built around creamy texture, sweet earth, cedar, baking spice, and touches of nuts and toast. The torpedo shape adds a little extra precision to the smoking experience, and at this size it typically offers about 75 to 100 minutes of smoking time, depending on pace.
