dangolf18 Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Besides the HDM Epicure No.2, what current production ('11-'13) hoyos are smoking well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sactochris Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 The PR's and the #1's are my personal favorites. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marker Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Had an epicure de luxe with Dr. Guano a week ago. Was excellent. Much better than the Epi #2 I had a couple weeks before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onsto Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Epi 1 are great right now. Du Dauphin if you can find them with a little age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBaron Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Epi 2s have been great of late. Dark chocolate and coffee...mmm! Can't knock the DCs either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MnMWC Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Enjoyed Epi Especial's as of late... they are mild, but have a delicious flavor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrb5783 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 The PR's and the #1's are my personal favorites. Epi especial and du gormet too. I just got some 98 double coronas and I can't wait to try them. I really like the whole hoyo line haven't found one yet I didn't like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CigarAsh Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I'm a fan of the short Hoyo pyramids ltd edition from 2011. Like the short robustos a lot too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aksan Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Have smoked al lot of epi 2. But my advise would be the Des Dieux. With a few years on them they are such an elegant cigar but with real sofistication, Smaller the du prince. Both nice for the summer. Not making it easier for you right? If would lean towards rge epi 2, just sidestep and try the petit robusto. The really great HDM i have had of late are absolutely the pyramids. Find a nice smelling box and enjoy. Hope it gives some direction. Ferit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkz Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Definitely Des Dieux! A truly divine cigar! For shorter smokes the Princes are great bang for the bucks. Glad to se the Epi 1 being mentioned. Got a box en route from the czar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laficion Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I would say HdM Epicure No. 1 If you have nothing, It's a solid buy !!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surucipe Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I really like the HDM profile, mostly quite mild but lots of flavor. As mentioned by others the '12 Epi 2's are absolutely fantastic! Really like the '11 Short Hoyo Piramides a lot as well. Tried single sticks of the Epi de Luxe and Epi espcial as well and these were good but you can't really tell much from a single stick. Have become a bit of a fan of the Du Gourmet as well but that's really a cigar that you need to give quite a bit of attention because of the very thin ring gauge (e.g. definitely not good to smoke on the golf course..).

Jnaube Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Epicure Especial and DC are for me the must smokes from that marca, outside of the Epi2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jnaube Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 I'm a fan of the short Hoyo pyramids ltd edition from 2011. Like the short robustos a lot too Really good affordable smoke but getting harder and harder to find. Also true that the des Dieux is delectable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangolf18 Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 I might go for the du Prince or des Dieux. I've had '11 and '12 Epi 2 and they are bomb, but I'm looking for thinner rg and shorter smokes. Thanks for the advice guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srsMichael Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Get the des dieux, Ive smoked through a couple cabs from 2003 and they are amazing smokes for under $10 a pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotusguy Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Reading comprehension much? Du Dauphin went out of production years ago and the OP asked specifically about current production To answer the actual question: Recent Epi 1 and Epi 2 are both great. I am also enjoying the Epicure Deluxe very much - so much that I bought two more boxes, even though the vitola is not my favorite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onsto Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Didn't realize that they were out of production. Still see them all over the place and inexpensive to boot. I bought a 99 box just last year at no premium, and they are fantastic... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westg Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Du Gourmet , mine are from 11 really nice. Epicure Deluxe not many left and loving them. Funnily enough about to light one this morn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
