E. P. Carrillo Encore Black Robusto

This cigar was exceptional. The medium-full profile didn't overwhelm and seemed perfect. The construction, like all of the EPC cigars I've smoked, was perfect. I have zero complaints on this on. The flavors were dynamic and entertaining. Posted in The Lounge by Gindy on January 10 2026 11:40:36 AM

E.P. Carrillo Encore Black Robusto

This cigar was exceptional. The medium-full profile didn't overwhelm and seemed perfect. The construction, like all of the EPC cigars I've smoked, was perfect. I have zero complaints on this on. The flavors were dynamic and entertaining. I like this one better than the regular Encore.

I smoked my way through the 'Perez-Carrillo' line and would rate them, per my experience and preference, as follows:

Endure - Encore Black - La Historia - Encore - Pledge - Allegiance

Note: some of the differences can be separated by the width of a sheet of paper. Always a good smoke regardless of which one it is.

Recommend them all.
