Hoyo de Monterrey Grand Epicure EL 2013 Release

[Troels]

One vendor has the Hoyos at $225 but he often discounts so anything at regular price seems overpriced.

So slightly less than the mc520 - found that was expensive, though worth it

[Lotusguy]

Another stick I won't have to buy

HSA really has jumped the shark with the 2013 EL pricing now.

^^^^^X2 Claus. It's getting crazy . . .

I've just received a newsletter from a LCDH informing that the price will range between USD180-195.

[Hafner32]

At $180-$195 for 10, I would rather add a couple more dollars and grab a cab of 25 of recent production HDM Epi #2 from our host. They have been really good ROTT.

Or if you have to have the LEs, save $40-$50 and buy the 2011 Shorty Pyramides

[Dara]

How many Epicures are too many ?

I'll stick to my Epi #2s and the odd LCDH Epi DeLuxe.

On a side note i saw the Punch LEs in London this evening...think they were about 25 pounds.

Picked up a few treats yesterday one of them being the Grand Epicure. Absolutely gorgeous looking cigar, dark chocolate wrapper, perfect construction. Fired it up and it was stunning, rich decadent chocolate, what a beauty....Glad the boxes are nice and small, they will pack in bulk nicely in storage....the EL program continues to deliver a stunning product, kudos...

Some very nice looking sticks, the grand epicure in particular looks amazing!

For those still wondering about the price, I picked up a box of these in Havana three weeks ago for just under 120 CUC. Very reasonably priced IMO. Have not tried one yet, will let them rest a little in the humidor before I do.

Wow, great price....im guessing $160 - $180 outside Cuba...$120...clean the island out!

No price as yet

Hi Rob. Any idea when these will land on our shores mate? I'll grab a box.

[Bahnofstrasse]

Just bought some at LCDH Zurich at 22chf of 220chf for a Box 10.

Also the 2013 Punch LE is selling at 20chf or 500chf for a Box of 25.

[Bahnofstrasse]

Just finished 2 singles that I smoked with a Mate that I brought back from LCDH Zurich. Very one dimensional without any pronounced flavors. Monolithic, and a bit harsh was our opinion. Did throw a lot of smoke. 70 minutes of smoke time.

At 22chf per stick, I believe I will pass on them for now.

[IcedCanuck]

153 Euro from another LCDH that I just got a newsletter from.

That is right around $200 US $20/stick .... they might be good but I think I would rather pick up a box of 25 Robustos for the same price.

Hopefully end of September mate. No confirmation yet however.

[Orion21]

Thanks Rob. It seems some people have never met a $20+ cigar they didn't like . . .

I would opt for the Epi 2's as well.
