Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure Especial Cigar – Single Tubos

Introduced to Habanos' core portfolio in 2008 after a 2004 limited release, the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial measures 5 1/2" (140mm) with a 50 ring gauge. The blend reveals coffee and cocoa powder notes with earth undertones, transitioning to toasted nuts and cream mid-smoke. Dark chocolate accents emerge alongside leather and spice elements in later stages.

The Epicure Especial uses Cuban-seed tobacco aged in aluminum tubos for humidity control. The tube packaging preserves the cigar's 50-60 minute smoking duration, maintaining consistent combustion and draw. Primary wrapper oils remain intact through transport conditions ranging from 16-20°C.

• Construction: Tripa larga filler with capote leaves from Vuelta Abajo
• Physical properties: 1.2oz weight, 70-72% relative humidity stability
• Flavor progression: Cedar → toasted nuts/cream → leather/spice

This single-unit presentation targets travelers requiring damage protection, with tube dimensions of 6.1" × 1.97" diameter. The blend demonstrates aging potential, with 2004 Edición Limitada versions showing increased complexity after 7+ years of maturation.
