Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure Especial Cigar – Box of 10

The Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure Especial Cigar, introduced to Cuba’s core cigar portfolio at the 2008 Habanos Festival, expands on the success of the Epicure No. 2. Originally previewed as a 2004 Edicion Limitada, this 5 12-inch cigar features a 50-ring gauge and combines aged Cuban tobacco for a medium-bodied profile.

Flavor Profile and Construction

This cigar delivers evolving flavors beginning with cedar and leather, transitioning to creamy undertones, toasted nuts, and spice. The final third intensifies with earthy notes, dark chocolate, and a subtle cocoa powder finish. Its blend avoids excessive strength while maintaining complexity through balanced layers of coffee and graham cracker accents.
