Cigar Review for E.p. Carrillo - Encore Majestic
My Review
The first draw I immediately tasted some complex flavors it tasted like a lot of cocoa and notes along that line.
I'm still in the first third and so far the burn has been pretty bad I had to relight several times. It got like a 94 on cigar fishing out I think. I'll have to give it a little bit and see how it goes from here
When it does burn the dry is really smooth and easy to pull from.
Flavors it's very good the second half of the cigar has smoked much better than the first. I'd like to try this again.
December 12th 2025, revisiting the cigar right now I'm getting a kind of a pretzel flavor out of it great draw.
This would be a really great everyday smoke.
