asmith Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 We are progressively finding out which Cuban Cigar has the highest rate of member satisfaction (and the lowest). I will run through the 30 most popular cigars during April and will provide an ongoing chart to see how the cigars stack up. It should go without saying to only vote if you have actually tried one Feel free to post your experiences and thoughts on the thread Todays cigar: HDM Epicure No2
Habanakane21 Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 5 years ago these were my go to cigar...then they dropped off a bit. But I've found that the newer ones are very very good! especially the HQ and PSP's..
CanuckSARTech Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 I find these are a bit all over the map sometimes. I do like the heavy doses of creamyness (flavour-wise) with some floral tones mixed in, that this blend seems to have. Fairly enjoyable when you get a good one.

Habanos2000 Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 5 years ago these were my go to cigar...then they dropped off a bit. Same story here, except that other cigars filled that void and I've not been back to them since.
bassman Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 Can't vote. Never smoked one. Never got more than an average experience from any Hoyo regular production.
ksblazer Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 I've tried them a few different times and they just aren't to my liking.
thechenman Posted April 14, 2011 Posted April 14, 2011 While I love the HdM Double Corona, Epicure Especial and Le Hoyo Des Dieux...the Epicure No. 2 has never done it for me.
olotti Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 I voted generally good as most of the Epi 2's I've smoked have been recent production. They are def different, lots of cream and floral almost perfumy like flavors, a nice change from my usual Boli/Partagas, Upmann rotation.
rdb6 Posted April 17, 2011 Posted April 17, 2011 I have only smoked one, don't really remember anything special. I didn't vote, not qualified.
frenchkiwi Posted April 18, 2011 Posted April 18, 2011 bought a couple of 3 packs 2 years ago - not expecting much in the cardboard lol. at the time i was trying the new Epicure Especial (they were all duds - mind you haven't touched the last few i have since) and i couldn't believe how good these No.2s were. incredibly rich flavour. And i'm no robusto fan. if i could be assured of more of the same i'd buy plenty boxes...
