Casa Carrillo Releases Encore Noir II and Encore Edición Única II

Casa Carrillo proudly announces the release of Encore Noir II and Encore Edición Única II.

Encore Noir II

Following the success of its predecessor, Encore Noir II returns as a 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.

The cigar is presented in the elegant Celestial No. 2 vitola and handcrafted at Casa Carrillo in Santiago, Dominican Republic. Encore Noir II is produced in a limited run of 1,500 individually numbered boxes, with 10 handcrafted long-filler cigars per box.

Blend Information:

  • Vitola: Celestial No. 2 – 6 1/8 x 50
  • Wrapper: Nicaragua
  • Binder: Nicaragua
  • Filler: Nicaragua
  • Factory: Casa Carrillo, Santiago, Dominican Republic

Encore Edición Única II

Casa Carrillo proudly introduces Encore Edición Única II, the second installment in the brand’s annual international-exclusive series.

For its second edition, Ernesto Perez-Carrillo selected the 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.”

Crafted as an all-Nicaraguan puro, the blend features selected tobaccos aged for a minimum of five years. The iconic No. 109 factory shape enhances the smoking experience.

Because of the limited availability of these specially aged tobaccos and the exacting standards required for production, Encore Edición Única II is limited to 1,100 individually numbered boxes, each containing 10 handcrafted long-filler cigars.

Blend Information:

  • Vitola: Amigos (No. 109) – 6½ x 54
  • Wrapper: Nicaragua
  • Binder: Nicaragua
  • Filler: Nicaragua
  • Aging: All tobaccos aged a minimum of five years
  • Factory: Casa Carrillo, Santiago, Dominican Republic

Encore Noir II and Encore Edición Única II are shipping now to Casa Carrillo’s international distribution partners.
