Rated No1 Cigar of the Year 2018 by Cigar Aficionado
The Casa Carrillo Encore Majestic is a Nicaraguan puro produced at Tabacalera La Alianza, rooted in Ernesto Perez-Carrillo’s Cuban cigar-making lineage. It opens with earth, cedar and black pepper; Wood and spice remain consistent, supported by a rounded natural sweetness that carries into a long, steady finish. It pairs naturally with espresso, aged rum or a dark beer, complementing the cedar and spice without overpowering them.

Casa Carrillo:
Casa Carrillo Cigars represents the continuation of one of the most influential legacies in modern cigar history. Master blender Ernesto Perez-Carrillo was born into the cigar trade in Cuba and later became the driving force behind the legendary El Credito / La Gloria Cubana brand, helping define premium cigar blending in the 1990s. After selling that brand, Ernesto returned to his roots in 2009, founding E.P. Carrillo with a renewed focus on craftsmanship, balance, and creative freedom.
Operating from the Dominican Republic with production also in Nicaragua, the Carrillo family built Casa Carrillo as a home for refined, award-winning cigars that honour Cuban tradition while embracing modern blending techniques.
