EP Carrillo Encore Celestial Toro

That earthy sweetness hits right from the first draw, and the wood notes carry through to a smooth, spicy finish. Burn was razor sharp for the whole toro, and the medium-full strength kept me engaged without overwhelming. Solid smoke for a quiet evening.

The draw is perfect right out of the cellophane, and that earthy sweetness balances the spice nicely. It burned even with a solid white ash all the way down—exactly what I was hoping for in a toro.

The Nicaraguan wrapper gives this toro a nice balance of spice and woodiness without being too heavy. It burned evenly for about 45 minutes, which was perfect for a relaxing evening smoke.
