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.

The delightful E.P. Carrillo Pledge provides taste in big, zesty chunks of spicy oak, licorice, black cherry, and black pepper. A warm, recognizable note of baked apple settles across the tongue just as you think you've experienced everything the cigar has to offer. 

The EP Carrillo Pledge Prequel vitola was rated #1 Cigar of the Year for 2020 by Cigar Aficionado with a total of 98 points, the highest in history. It was also awarded the Best Dominican Cigar of 2021.

With a 95 rating, the "E-III" version of the EP Carrillo La Historia was named the No. 2 cigar of 2014 by Cigar Aficionado, and over a decade later the blend continues to earn rave reviews. 

Flavor wise, La Historia is a robust cigar with notes of warm coffee and cocoa and hints of spice, nutmeg, and earth. Its Ecuadorian Sumatran binder and Nicaraguan fillers are covered by a dark chocolate accentuated Mexican San Andres wrapper, which, at the time was the first blend from EPC to sport such a wrapper leaf. This cigar has a long-lasting finish that is intended to enthrall even the most experienced connoisseur with its aromatic mocha sweetness and full-bodied textures.
