Casa Carrillo Cigars announces the release of the Encore Black Bulwarks, a 6 x 58 Perfecto ($21). It will debut at the Great Lakes Cigar Festival on July 26 in Pontiac, Mich.
Bulwarks features a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, San Andrés Viso binders and Condega, Estelí, and Jalapa filler.
“Following the success of the first Encore Black vitola, we knew we wanted to expand the line with something that delivered a fuller, more immersive expression of the blend,” Ernesto Perez-Carrillo said in a press release. “The Bulwarks does exactly that. The Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper takes center stage—given the time it needs to develop its rich, complex character. We paired it with a San Andrés viso binder and select fillers from Estelí, Jalapa, and Condega to highlight and complement the Broadleaf’s bold profile. It’s a sincere effort from our family to yours—continuing what we love doing most: creating cigars with heart, heritage, and craftsmanship.”
The Encore Black Bulwarks will launch in limited quantities, allocated to select retailers shortly after the festival.
