E.P. Carrillo Encore Celestial

Description

E.P. Carrillo Encore Celestial is an elegant, medium-full 6 1/8 x 50 box-pressed Toro handcrafted in the Dominican Republic. Made as a Nicaraguan puro, it reflects Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s focus on depth, balance and layered flavour, using Nicaraguan tobacco for the wrapper, binder and long-filler blend.

The rich Nicaraguan wrapper surrounds a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan long fillers, producing a full, cohesive profile with natural sweetness, lively spice and substantial body. Expect notes of cedar, earth, black pepper, citrus zest, roasted coffee, leather, toasted nuts and a touch of dark cocoa. The smoke begins with a zesty pepper presence, then develops into a more rounded combination of wood, creaminess and subtle sweetness through the middle and final thirds.

Its 6 1/8-inch length and 50-ring gauge provide a cool, deliberate smoking experience, while the box-pressed construction gives the Celestial a distinctive feel in hand and helps focus its draw. This is a strong option for experienced smokers looking for a refined Nicaraguan-forward cigar that is complex without becoming overwhelmingly heavy.
