E.P. Carrillo Encore Valientes is a luxurious Nicaraguan puro rolled in an elegant 6.125 x 52 Pyramid shape, offering a refined take on bold, full-flavored tobaccos. As part of the esteemed Family Series, this cigar is crafted entirely from Nicaraguan tobaccos that have been patiently cured and aged in traditional tercios—a method that enhances smoothness and depth. While the blend is known for its rich flavor, the Valientes leans into a medium-bodied profile, delivering a balanced and complex experience. Expect lush notes of sweet tobacco, rich earth, and a long, spicy finish. Awarded the coveted #1 Cigar of the Year by Cigar Aficionado in 2018, this exceptional cigar is a must-try for any serious aficionado.
