Hoyo Epicure Especial - 10 cigars [5.6" x 50]

The Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial is a medium to full flavored cigar but medium in body and very smooth with touches of spice.

  • • Epicure Especial is the flagship of the Epicure Line, which includes the Epicure No.1 and No.2 that have made these sizes the leading products of the Hoyo de Monterrey brand.
  • • The communication codes will also be common, since they will all have the same second ring with the name of each commercial size printed on it.

The flavors are not typical Hoyo, however you can still tell it is Hoyo; rich, dark flavors of espresso, woods, vanilla, cocoa and hints of floral tobacco, very refined and extremely well balanced.

Presentation

Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial – 10 cigars comes in a Sliding Lid Box (SLB) of cedar with Habanos Packing Code SLB-UW-GPSR-M-n-10

Dimensions:

Length: 141mm

Diameter: 19.84mm

Ring Gauge: 50

Shape: Gordito

Appearance:

The cigar has a beautiful triple cap. The wrapper is very light and silky, similar to a Connecticut Shade and has wonderful aromas of caramel, honey and leather. You also pick up a slight bit of cinnamon in the aroma but it is a mild spice. Oily and soft to the touch, the russet-colored wrapper gives off pre-light aromas of sweet hay and coffee.

Smoking Notes:

Before lighting up

Strong aromas of earth are present on the foot. The pre-light draw is good.

Burn/ Draw

This cigar burns evenly with an easy draw.

Initial third:

The cigar begins by showing a lot of earth but with a nice smoky cedar and a creamy presence as well. Also present is dark honey. The cigar is very mild in body. There is some cardamom and cumin present.

Middle third:

As the cigar progresses into the second third it takes on some floral notes along with leather, but also picks up the honey and cream that was present in the first third.

Final third:

In the final third the cigar becomes much richer with wonderful notes of chocolate and cinnamon, but it still shows mostly oak, cedar and floral flavors to it. The cigar ends medium in body. 

A surprisingly mild smoke considering the oily wrapper with perfect construction, burn and draw.

Smoking time:

45 - 90 Minutes

Pretty good cigar , 2/7/2022
By Travis
Nice mild cigar, similar to an Epicure 2, but lacking the strong cream. A bit more floral, but has the potential when it is on. Smoked 2 so far from my 10 one was good and the other was still young with ammonia flavours. Will let rest for a bit more
Great Cigar , 10/4/2020

Great tasting Hoyo cigar. Very similar to the Epicure No. 2 but not quite as refined. I do prefer it above the Le Hoyo series cigars though. Thank You.
Great Daytime Smoke , 5/2/2020

On the mild to medium side with an easy draw and creamy smooth smoke. Always good to have in the humidor.
Highly recommended- Great Hoyo , 10/25/2018

Absolutely love this cigar. Right out of the box, flavor and construction was perfect. Nice balance of strength, smooth draw and complex tasty flavor. In the same pedigree of Hoyo 2 but better. Will only improve with age.

This is my favorite Cuban cigar. It is on the lighter side with good flavor and classic taste.
