Habanos SA Releases Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure de Luxe

[CaptainQuintero]

Constructive time-

You know what would have flown off the LCDH shelves despite the added franchise price? A HDM Culebra, everyone would have been happy because the band for them would have been massive too!

The epi #2 is great, and the Double epi is amazing, I'll give these a whirl! after all, winter is coming here, and good short smokes are a welcome treat here!

[cckandb24]

No thanks and with the price they will cost, double no thanks

BIG YAWN

[Dozerhead]

I will stick with epi. no. 2 and petit robustos for much cheaper.

I could not agree more.

[nikesupremedunk]

Clearly you meant "quadruple no thanks"!

He really doesn't like them!

[cckandb24]

Well not sure why my response was posted 4 times. Sorry guys

[mk05]

I will laugh when these are awesome and everyone squirrels boxes away like the Half Coronas.

You never know! haha

I seriously doubt it...

[kyee]

So what was the general consensus on these? Worth a try?

[stargazer14]

I hope soon it will be cigars that go on the ' 5 day cleansing diet' and loose weight.

I had one with Dr. Guano in mpls. It was one of the few hoyos I really liked. People can bag on the ring gauge etc. It might have been just the company but I found the cigar better than any Epicure I have had.

[Wil]

How do these compare to the HdM petit robusto?

[IcedCanuck]

As long as the price point is not ridiculous, due to it being an LCDH release, I'd give them a try at least once just to see what they are like for myself.

[IcedCanuck]

I've seen them between 75-110 at various places online. Not a terrible price compared to other 10ct boxes of LCDH releases.

Not too bad of a price then I guess.

[Drguano]

I find them to be tasty little smokes. To paraphrase "Field of Dreams", if Rob sells them, I will buy.

[LLC]

Not normally my thing but started a few mornings in Havana with this cigar and an Americano. Brought back a few boxes and still treat it as a Saturday morning smoke with an Amerucano. Had one this morning and continue to enjoy them.

[Bunner]

Had one yesterday as well. First one in a while and it has changed for me. At first it was fairly light, but pleasant. Now it is leather and wood and rich tobacco. A solid afternoon smoke.

I agree. I think they are worth a purchase or two!

[Orion21]

But are they worth the premium over the Monte PE as a morning cigar with coffee?

[Marker]

Stop buying them. They are not that good. Go find some LGC in Havana and smoke them.

[TheKosherStogie]

I love these. A great smoke! I think they stand out.
