E.P. Carrillo has announced the United States Release of Encore Noir with Exclusive Event at Two Guys Smoke Shop featuring Jorge Luis Fernandez Maique.
Crafted with precision and passion, Encore Noir embodies the artistry of tobacco blending, drawing from the rich soils of Ecuador, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic. This unique blend builds upon the legacy of the Encore, which was awarded Cigar Aficionado’s #1 Cigar of the Year in 2018 and features an Ecuadoran wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and a curated mix of fillers sourced from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic.
Presented in a singular size known as Majestic No. 2, each Encore Noir cigar measures 5 3/8 inches by 52 ring gauge, boasting a rounded shape, with production limited to just 3,000 boxes this year world-wide, each containing 10 cigars, Encore Noir promises an exclusive and unparalleled smoking experience.
