E. P. Carrillo Since Ernesto founded »EPC Cigar Co.« with his children in 2009, many top cigars have left the »Tabacalera La Alianza« in the Dominican Republic. Among them, the »La Historia«, which was ranked No. 2 on Cigar Aficionado's best list in 2014. Four years later came the first place, and with it, the first Nicaraguan puro ever created by EPC Cigar. If you look closely at the rose-gold band of the »Encore«, you'll see that »La Historia« has a similar one, only the colors are different. As the name »Encore« already suggests, it is the encore to »La Historia«. The »Encore« was meant to delight aficionados worldwide in 2016, but Ernesto wanted to give the wrappers more time. He trusted his unique tobacco instincts and let the wrappers age for another two full years! This decision was rewarded by »Cigar Aficionado« with an outstanding rating of 96! Decades of expertise, combined with countless hours of care and attention, have created the »Encore« – a cigar experience that is unique and one you'll want to repeat again and again. So indulge in this outstanding cigar and enjoy it – maybe with a latte macchiato, just as Ernesto's daughter Lissette Perez Carrillo likes best! Taste: The cigar shines with a touch of earthy notes, paired with spices, woods, and fine herbs. A creamy sweetness can be perceived throughout the entire smoking duration.
