This cigar contains only Nicaraguan tobacco that has been aged for two years and married in tercios. EP Encore is a complex blend that offers a sumptuous flavor rich in baking spices, mild tobacco notes, subtle cedar, and touches of sweetness. It's elegant, refined and nuanced from first puff to last puff, but it's also the culmination of a long career in tobacco and the result of a man who was never afraid to follow his instincts. This stick scored an unmatched 96 points rate and was awarded the #1 Cigar of 2018.
