Jorge Fernandez Maique, of Casa Carrillo says, “We enjoyed working with aged tobacco wrappers and different cigar shapes on these projects. Here we go on a journey, where every moment whispers an intriguing tale. With Encore Noir, by using higher priming of the wrapper, we achieved a darker wrapper that creates a significant change from the original Encore blend. With Unica, I wondered how changing the box press to a round format would influence the blend. We are very happy with the results.”
