Perez-Carrillo Encore

Encore is Perez‑Carrillo’s Nicaraguan puro exercise finished at Casa Carrillo/Tabacalera La Alianza in the Dominican Republic. The blend draws from Estelí, Condega and Jalapa primings and is most often presented in box‑pressed formats, which tighten mouthfeel and emphasize surface oils. Smokes typically open with a bright peppery note and citrus zest that give way to dry cedar, aged oak and roasted‑nut earth; cream and sweet hay soften the spice into a velvety finish while retrohales bring baking spice and pepper early. The pressed construction makes the smoke feel muscular and disciplined, and the line includes core production sizes alongside limited and TAA variants that explore press styles and vitola‑specific treatments.
