EPC Encore El Primero (Churchill)

The EPC Encore El Primero, a magnificent Churchill measuring 174.6 mm made in Nicaragua, presents itself with a captivating wrapper that offers a smooth and pleasant texture to the touch. Its gray color, as subtle as it is elegant, promises a refined experience throughout the burn.

From the moment of lighting, the first olfactory contact envelops you with its captivating pre-light aromas. You will discover notes of leather, wood, and black pepper that evoke a rustic elegance. Upon lighting, this richness develops to introduce nuances of chocolate and caramel, with a pleasant presence of dried fruits, culminating in a complex and alluring bouquet.

On the palate, the development of flavors is simply exceptional. The first third reveals a perfectly balanced harmony between leather, pepper, and wood aromas, enriched with notes of nuts and chocolate. Gradually, the second third brightens with a vanilla sweetness and sensations of fresh bread crust. The complexity intensifies, creating a memorable tasting experience that will keep you captivated. The final third reintroduces intensity with touches of pepper and increased warmth, providing a beautiful conclusion to this sensory adventure.

The finish is distinguished by its long finish and smooth texture. The perfect balance between strength and sweetness that characterizes this cigar makes it a unique piece appreciated by aficionados. The burn, although occasionally uneven, rarely requires correction, underscoring the craftsmanship quality of the EPC Encore El Primero.

To fully appreciate this cigar, we recommend an evening tasting, perhaps while enjoying a glass of peated Scotch, whose aromatic richness will enhance the flavors of the cigar. This moment will delight your palate while offering a contemplative and flavorful pause.
