E.P. Carrillo Encore TAA 656

This robust, box-pressed cigar boasts a rich, chocolate-brown hue and a complex, multi-layered cap. While it maintains an even draw, the burn is somewhat uneven, exhibiting a slightly blistered appearance. Initially, the smoke presents itself as potent and pungent, with a bold, spicy flavor profile that unfolds to reveal notes of licorice, smoky oak, dark cherry, and a deep, caramel sweetness. As the flavors mature, a nutty aftertaste emerges, accompanied by a subtle bitterness that adds depth to the overall smoking experience.
