Today I decided to post my first review here. The weather outside was not so warm, so I took a Hoyo Ep2. It is one of my every day cigars. All I had from this box were great cigars. So let's start.

Construction, Aroma at cold :

Good dark wrapper and good constructed cigar. Good draw. Taste like milk coffee.

Opening:

Great opening. Tones of smoke. Very oily. A little bit of grassy and bitterness.

First third:

Still very oily. Draw and burn was still good. For my taste it was medium bodied. Smooth oily a little bit nutty and less earthiness. Long finish, all creamy. Still very good with much of flavors coming out.

Second third:

Now the burn was getting a little bad, but draw was still good. The ash was holding still second third. Very loose. Not like at my Lusitanias. Flavorwhise still the same. No big transition. Still oily with this lovely creaminess. Still tones of smoke. Very consistent. Great body. Now it is getting a little bit more strength. Otherwise nothing more to report. Great cigar.

Final third:

Still a very consistent cigar. No harshness. Still warm smoke not hot. Draw is also still very good. Flavors are very enjoyable. Lots of smoke. This cream and a little bit nuttyness is still there. After 55 min I put the cigar away. In my opinion a very good cigar especially for those who are new to CC. They are at a good body and flavorwhise also good. I had many HdM EP2 from our host, and also this was very good. All very well constructed. No "Monday Cigar". I can highly recommend these to all who are looking for a good smooth cigar with medium flavors. I have also some PSP May '13 from Rob, but they have to rest in peace. Looking forward to them. In conclusion I would rate this cigar 92/100.
