The Encore series is a tribute to Ernesto's family, who have been in the cigar business for generations. This cigar is part of the "Family Series" and is the finest cigar produced by the workshop. The workshop spent hours blending and adjusting the cigars until it created a product worthy of the "Family Series" status. The tobacco used in this premium cigar is entirely Nicaraguan, and the tobacco itself is aged in a technique that many people no longer use - "Tercios". "Tercios" means that the tobacco is tied to the bark of a palm tree and wrapped. This treatment gives the tobacco a unique flavor. This passion for tobacco made Ernesto Carrillo one of the best cigar masters in the world. After smoking this cigar, you will immediately want to light up another one, hence the name "Encore".
