EP Carrillo Encore Majestic

Cigar Intel

Part of E.P. Carrillo's esteemed Encore Family Series, a line created to follow up the legendary La Historia, the Encore Majestic stands apart as a true showcase of blending mastery. This robusto (5 3/8″ × 52) is built with an all-Nicaraguan blend, wrapper, binder, and filler, aged and married using traditional techniques like tercios to build depth and harmony in flavor.

Award-winning from the start, the Majestic earned Cigar Aficionado’s #1 Cigar of the Year (2018) and holds a stellar 96 rating, a testament to its balanced complexity and world-class construction.

Tasting Notes

The Encore Majestic opens with rich earth and cedar, followed by roasted nuts and warm baking spice. As it develops, subtle sweetness and cream round out the profile while soft pepper builds in the background. The finish is smooth, structured, and balanced with lingering wood and spice.

Team Review

A former Cigar of the Year that still smokes like it means it. Roasted nuts, cedar, and baking spice unfold with polished balance, building to a structured, medium-plus finish without ever losing composure.
