Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No.2

Founded in 1860 on the juiciest stretch of the San Juan y Martinez River, the Hoyo de Monterrey tobacco plantation quickly rose to the premier league of Cuban Vegas. The Epicure No. 2 is probably the best-known cigar from the Hoyo de Monterrey brand, which is certainly due to the popular Robusto format. All Hoyos are premium long fillers, totalmente a mano. Just about an hour of smoking pleasure with cocoa and cedar wood is always worth a smoke.

The Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 in hand like an old friend. It smells cold slightly of autumn leaves and, when lit, spreads cautiously on the palate. A little light dried fruit and cedar wood, plus soft bitter notes of mild cocoa. Very stringent increase in the course of the smoke with a slight increase in sharpness. Flawless burn and nice ash formation until the finale. During the day, the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 with café au lait and latte macchiato, later served with mature brandy or cognac.
