HOYO DE MONTERREY EPICURE ESPECIAL

The Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial cigar is a Gordito vitola measuring 141mm in length with a 50 inch ring gauge. The Epicure Especial was inducted into the Epicure series in 2008, riding the success of its siblings they added girth to the Especial. 
These fine cigars are handmade, wrapped in a beautiful colorado leaf and carry a second band with the Especial inscription. The aromas that came off this cigar were a delightful blend of honey, vanilla and rich tobacco that carried into the cold draw but with the addition of citrus fruit. 
The smoke was light in body while being silky smooth with complex flavours. We tasted a herbaceous blend of dried french herbs mixed with roasted nuts and soft pitted fruit. The burn was razor sharp and gave us a smoke time of about 90 minutes which could have been drawn out much longer when time permits.
