When I saw the post on facebook a couple days ago about what to pair the encore black with I went strait to “Total Wine and more” and I bought a bottle of 2XO American oak edition, A bottle of McAllen in the blue box, and a Bottle of grangeStone highland single malt scotch bourbon cask finish. So I could try them with the encore black. I can honestly say those 3 spirits pair amazingly with the black
Wonderful. You guys are making my mouth water. David, what is that amazing-looking bracelet you’re wearing? Could you please provide a link with its description?
I can't wait to get my hands on these beautiful cigars the encore has been my favorite for years and I can't wait to see what this new blend has to offer!
To share. I have paired mine with a creamy coffee!! And 🤯 wow the 1st 3rds sweetness played awesome, and after the cigar played so greatly from foot to head all the way through!
Rec’d my box of Encore Black and am very much looking forward to lighting up my first !!! I can honestly say that I have never had a EP Carrillo cigar that I didn’t LOVE … You All Rooooooooock !!!
@@EPCarrilloCigars Tried my first Encore Black today and must say I am impressed. It was a bit early to pair it with a bourbon, but still an excellent stick. I will definitely be venturing back to my local B&M to get more before they sell out.
Excited to try the black. Smoke a lot of Encore and enjoy your willingness to tweak the award winning blends you already have. Smart move, don’t sit on your laurel’s like most companies. Oliva did the Melanio to the already great Serie V and the rest is history!!
Ok, I'm waiting. Would love to win an encore Black ashtray, last year I found my Pledge ashtray broken. Who Did this only crickets.I'm here to support either way Love the E.P. Carrillo brand, such a classic. Thank you
Can’t go wrong with a dram of Four Roses, especially the small batch. If you’re fortunate to be able to source any of their 130th anniversary bottlings, you’ll fall-over at the depth of flavor. High-proof, but cuts so well with water. I think it would complement the Black’s profile. As for Scotch, I’d recommend Glenfarclas 10 year around the holidays; it’s better than their older age-statement bottlings. If you’re brave enough to go for something slightly peated, I recommend Laphroaig Quarter Cask. It won’t have the age statement on the bottle, but it’s a marriage of many different age statements. If you’re acclimated to peat already, that bottle really showcases sweeter and more rounded elements to it. Also recommend Port Charlotte Heavily-Peated 2012. The name fools most, as it’s a very complex and satisfying bottle even without a cigar. Cheers.
It’s a shame I don’t drink bourbon anymore. Now I just pair them with coffee! If I win the canvas, I may have to get a good thing of bourbon for the photo!
Don’t laugh, but an awesome pairing and palate-cleanser with any cigar is a glass of half-water and half-lemonade. Even powdered Gatorade added to a bottle of water is a nice compliment to any cigar.
Yeah I think drinking very good scotch or flavorful liquor can take away from the flavor of the cigar. Just my 2 cents I think these 2 things should be done separately. Especially knowing how expensive Scotch can be.

I don’t drink alcohol but I paired mine with a Coke Zero and it was delicious 😋
Nice
I just smokes my first one. So good
Awesome!
When aging my Encore Black. Should I remove the lower paper?
Great question. It couldn’t hurt and personally I would.
It’s a shame I don’t drink bourbon anymore. Now I just pair them with coffee! If I win the canvas, I may have to get a good thing of bourbon for the photo!
👍
Smoked this yesterday...while it was good, I expected more
Thanks for the feedback.
Im an extremely light drinker so for me its normally a diet pop lol
That works!
