The Encore is a cigar that stands as a testament to Ernesto's mastery in cigar craftsmanship. Renowned for its exceptional quality, this cigar delivers a complex and captivating flavor experience from start to finish.
Upon the first draw, the Encore ignites the palate with a lively burst of spice and zest, featuring a bold peppery kick balanced by a refreshing citrus brightness. As the smoke unfolds, deeper, earthy notes of aged cedar and oak begin to emerge, providing a rich, woody foundation that complements the initial zest. The result is a beautifully layered flavor profile that evolves with every puff.
The true allure of the Encore lies in its luxurious, creamy finish. Each draw leaves behind a smooth, velvety texture, while the rich aroma envelops the senses in a satisfying cloud of fragrant smoke. Every moment with the Encore is a true indulgence, making it a remarkable journey for the discerning cigar enthusiast.
