Distinctive Features & Presentation

Wrapped in a beautifully aged Nicaraguan leaf, the Encore El Primero delivers a rich and harmonious flavor profile from beginning to end. The blend is aged in traditional tercios wrapped in royal palm bark, allowing the tobaccos to develop additional complexity and smoothness. The cigar opens with notes of cedar, roasted nuts, earth, and subtle spice, followed by layers of cocoa, cream, and natural sweetness as the smoke progresses. Hints of pepper and roasted coffee emerge through the final third while maintaining balance and elegance throughout the experience. The larger 6⅞″ x 54 format provides a cool draw, slow burn, and dense aromatic smoke, allowing the blend to evolve gradually with every inch. Presented in elegant boxes of 20 cigars, the Encore El Primero reflects Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s commitment to premium craftsmanship and timeless cigar blending tradition.
