Today, we continue the reveal of the 2024 Smoke Inn Hanukkah Box with the cigar for day 2 of the Festival of Lights. Warning: spoiler alert.
Similar to Smoke Inn’s Advent Calendar, a different cigar will be revealed each day for the eight days of Hanukkah. Much like lighting a candle on the menorah for each night of Hanukkah, each “candle” box inside the large Hanukkah box will contain a cigar. The ninth candle of the menorah, known as the Shamash, is used to light the other candles on the menorah. Following that pattern, Smoke Inn’s Hanukkah box contains nine candle boxes – eight representing the eight nights of Hanukkah and one for the Shamash.
Notably, there is one big difference between the Smoke Inn Hanukkah Box and the Smoke Inn Advent Calendar. The Advent Calendar focuses on more commercially available cigars. The Hanukkah Box focuses on rare cigars with limited production.
Today’s reveal is the E.P. Carrillo Encore Black. The Encore Black is one of two limited production maduro offerings added to the Perez-Carrillo Encore line in 2024. The Encore Black is a box-pressed Connecticut Broadleaf offering geared for the U.S. market, while the Encore Noir is an Ecuadorian Maduro offering mostly distributed outside the U.S.
