About Perez-Carrillo Encore Black

Encore Black centers on Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro leaf, backed by a San Andrés binder and Nicaraguan fillers from Condega, Estelí and Jalapa. It debuted in late 2023 as a 5⅜ × 52 box/oval‑pressed Robusto and later expanded with the Bulwarks 6 × 58 Perfecto. The Broadleaf sees extended fermentation and aging; tasting notes commonly cite dark chocolate, toasted oak and cedar, mineral earth and black pepper.

Broadleaf Forward

Perez-Carrillo Encore Black

Encore Black pairs a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper with a Mexican San Andrés binder and Nicaraguan fillers (Condega, Estelí, Jalapa), is positioned in the medium‑full lane, and highlights dark cocoa, toasted oak/cedar, earth and black pepper with occasional cream and sweetness.

Encore Black turns the Encore formula toward Connecticut Broadleaf: a dark Broadleaf wrapper over a Mexican San Andrés binder and three‑region Nicaraguan filler. The leaf receives extended fermentation and aging to deepen sweetness and richness, and releases have favored pressed formats—including an oval/box‑pressed Robusto and the Bulwarks Perfecto—that accentuate the wrapper’s power. Flavor leans dark: cocoa and toasted oak up front, earth and mineral notes through the middle, and a steady pepper bite on the retrohale with intermittent cream and Broadleaf sweetness to round the edges. Texture can be slightly gritty or leathery at moments, giving the cigar a chewy, tannic backbone that the pressed formats only emphasize.
