Two International Exclusive Limited Releases Showcase Distinct Expressions of the Encore Brand
Miami, FL — Casa Carrillo proudly announces the release of Encore Noir II and Encore Edición Única II, two international-exclusive limited editions that celebrate the artistry, innovation, and craftsmanship behind the acclaimed Encore brand. While united by the pursuit of excellence, each cigar offers its own unique interpretation of the Encore legacy.
Encore Noir II
Following the success of its predecessor, Encore Noir II returns as a bold new expression of the Encore line. Rather than recreating the original, Noir II has been developed as its own distinctive release, showcasing a blend composed entirely of Nicaraguan tobaccos.
Presented in the elegant Celestial No. 2 vitola, Encore Noir II delivers a rich, balanced smoking experience with layers of complexity and refinement. Handcrafted at Casa Carrillo in Santiago, Dominican Republic, every cigar reflects generations of cigar-making expertise and an unwavering commitment to quality.
Produced in a limited run of 1,500 individually numbered boxes, with 10 handcrafted long-filler cigars per box, Encore Noir II offers enthusiasts an exclusive opportunity to experience the next evolution of the Encore tradition.

Encore Edición Única II
Building on the success of the inaugural Edición Única release, Casa Carrillo proudly introduces Encore Edición Única II, the second installment in the brand’s annual international-exclusive series celebrating rare tobaccos, exceptional craftsmanship, and limited production.
For its second edition, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo selected the iconic No. 109 factory shape, a distinctive 6½ x 54 vitola with a tapered head. Named Amigos, this release honors the friendships and shared experiences that have always been central to the premium cigar tradition.
“Every Edición Única is an opportunity to create something truly special,” said Ernesto Perez-Carrillo. “With Amigos, we wanted to showcase the beauty of the No. 109 format while allowing carefully aged tobaccos to deliver remarkable balance, complexity, and refinement.”
Each Edición Única is not a continuation of the last, but a new expression of craftsmanship. Defined by its own blend, vitola, and personality, every annual release is created to offer a singular smoking experience worthy of its name.
That philosophy comes to life in Encore Edición Única II. Crafted as an all-Nicaraguan puro, the blend features meticulously selected tobaccos aged for a minimum of five years, allowing each leaf to develop exceptional harmony, richness, and depth while showcasing the distinctive character of Nicaragua’s finest growing regions. The iconic No. 109 factory shape further enhances the smoking experience, delivering a refined expression unlike any that came before it.
Because of the limited availability of these specially aged tobaccos and the exacting standards required for production, Encore Edición Única II is limited to just 1,100 individually numbered boxes, each containing 10 handcrafted long-filler cigars.
