Live review - hoyo de monterrey epicure especial

[nick17]

just lit up my first hoyo de monterrey epicure especial

first few draws have a rely woody flavor with hints of cream and sweetness

more to come at end of the first third

[nick17]

end of first third

lost a lot of the woody notes and more cream and sweetness have appeared with a slight peppery note on the finish

had to move into the garage after it started raining

I will be smoking another this afternoon however it is 78 degrees and sunny here

[nick17]

it was sunny when i lit up but the clouds rolled in rely quick

[nick17]

end of second third

the creaminess and sweetness are still there the woodiness has come back slightly as well the peppery finish has come back

i left the cigar and it went out that might be the reason for the peppery finish

[nick17]

finish

unfortunately the cigar became incredibly harsh in the final third and had to call it quits with about 2.5 inches left over all i enjoyed the cigar and would definitely consider getting a box love the creaminess of it. i dont smoke that many hoyo's because i find them to light in body and sometimes lacking flavor but this one rely proved me wrong

What year is it? My 08s smoke fantastic down to the nub and more complex than this.

Sounds young. Prob 10 box code. :rollseyes:

Just kidding, but the older ones, the rerelease in 08 are awesome.

Regalos are better than both. :dodging stones:

Nice review! This has become one of my go-to morning smokes. I actually smoke these more frequently than the Des Dieux now. I really need to pick up a cab!
