Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure Especial Cigar – Box of 25

The Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial Cigar debuted in 2008 as an extension of the brand’s portfolio, following the success of the Epicure No. 2. Measuring 5 1/8 inches in length with a 50-ring gauge, this Cuban cigar features a blend of aged tobacco leaves. Its construction ensures an even burn and consistent draw throughout the 50–60 minute smoking session.
