An International Exclusive Continues the Legacy of Encore with a Limited U.S. Launch Event at Two Guys Smoke Shop

Miami, FL — Casa Carrillo proudly announces the release of Encore Noir II, the next chapter in its exploration of deeper, darker expressions within the acclaimed Encore legacy. Building on the foundation of the original Encore—named Cigar Aficionado’s 2018 Cigar of the Year—Encore Noir II delivers a richer, more intense interpretation while maintaining the balance and elegance that define the series.

Crafted entirely with Nicaraguan tobaccos, Encore Noir II features a Nicaraguan wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and Nicaraguan filler. Presented in the Celestial No. 2 vitola, measuring 6 1/8 x 50, this second edition offers remarkable complexity, layered richness, and refined strength.

At the heart of the blend is a dark Nicaraguan wrapper that has undergone more than five years of natural bale aging. The extended maturation of these exceptional leaves creates extraordinary depth and character, while also making production exceptionally limited.

Only 1,500 individually numbered boxes will be produced worldwide, with each box containing 10 handcrafted cigars. The scarcity of the wrapper tobacco ensures Encore Noir II remains one of Casa Carrillo’s most exclusive releases.

As an international exclusive release, the only U.S. debut will take place during a special weekend at Two Guys Smoke Shop in New Hampshire, continuing the tradition established by the original Encore Noir launch. Events are scheduled for Friday, July 24, and Saturday, July 25, with Ernesto Perez-Carrillo and his son Ernesto Perez-Carrillo III joining cigar enthusiasts on Saturday for a special appearance alongside a live broadcast of The Cigar Authority.

“Encore Noir II represents our continued pursuit of refinement through patience,” said Ernesto Perez-Carrillo. “By allowing these tobaccos the time they needed to mature naturally, we’ve created a cigar with remarkable depth, richness, and elegance that remains unmistakably Encore.”

Encore Noir II invites aficionados to experience a deeper world of flavor—one that honors the past while embracing a bold new expression of the Encore legacy.
