Brief Introduction: The Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial is one of Cuba's relatively newer cigars is also one that is smoking beautifully right now. Epicure Especial was introduced to the main Cuban cigar vitolario at the Habanos Festival in 2008. The idea was to give the aficionado more, building on the success of the iconic Hoyo Epicure No. 2.
Flavours: The cigar is extremely very rich, with varied notes that include coffee, earth, and cocoa powder, and a touch of graham cracker. It's complex, but not too strong, making it a very approachable Cuban.
Synopsis: The Epicure Especial is widely considered the crème de la crème of the Hoyo de Monterrey line and is surprisingly smooth and mild for a Hoyo Cuban cigar. This will suit a beginner cigar smoker because of its mildness and also for cigar connoisseurs because of its complex flavours, making it a versatile cigar. Smoking duration 50 - 90 minutes.
