El Presidente Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I was asked in an e-mail today about the flavour profile of the Hoyo De Monterrey San Juan. I have seen precious few boxes (more available next week) and smoked only 2 of these since release so I would love the input of those members who have smoked at least a couple in order that I can refer the member to this thread. If you have tried them (a few preferably)....give us your opinion. Many thanks

Lotusguy Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Based on 3 sticks from two different boxes, outstanding cigar! HDM profile is present with some extra sweetness. Very approachable for its age. 2
santela Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I would like to know more about this cigar as well. Hope to see some 10'ers on sale some time.
in0gravity Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Great cigar and what Lotusguy already mentioned further above: very approachable for such a young cigar. A bit Davidoffesque for me. regards Lars
fingerburner Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Loved the three singles I picked up at Christmas time. Complex, sweet, mild to medium bodied, just gorgeous. Ticked so many boxes for my tastes. Cannot wait to get my hands on more.
cigarbreak Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Love them, intense in flavour and smooth med-mild body. Would love to see how these evolve over time.
El Presidente Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 I will put some 10'ers up on todays 24;24
dflan82 Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 I will put some 10'ers up on todays 24;24 Works for me! Great way to try some of these...Thanks Rob.
El Presidente Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 I will put some 10'ers up on todays 24;24 I will make it 5'ers so more to go around. I really don't have many boxes. 1
omartout Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 I will make it 5'ers so more to go around. I really don't have many boxes. Thanks, I love fivers! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Laxman Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 Only smoke 4 or 5 but so far love them. Sweeter then the epi2 and love the bigger size. Complex and as stated smoking very well right now.

Larsy Posted March 15, 2015 Posted March 15, 2015 How has the construction been on these? Burn draw etc 1
Rushman Posted March 18, 2015 Posted March 18, 2015 Smoking my first one of these now. As stated wry approachable for its age. Typical HDM flavor profile. Certainly mild. Good flavor progression. Box worthy. Not super wild about the size but as a change of pace it's good.
dchapman Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 I have only had one from the five pack I recently received. It had some burn issues, but showed some promising flavors. Looking forward to trying it again in 4 to 6 months.
JohnS Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 I've now smoked my second one from the five-pack bought during that 24:24 sale. I made sure that I left them to rest for 30 days. In my opinion, the cigar is like a Gran Epicure No.2. It's mild to medium, with that classic HdM sweetness and cream throughout. My palatte was left completely clean, yet I savoured the flavour for hours afterwards. The cigar had a lovely construction, with good ash and smoke volume. It burned cool throughout, I did not need to re-light and I smoked it as far down to the nub until it got hot in the last 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch. I am looking forward to leaving my others to rest further, then I'll smoke another to compare. I wouldn't hesitate in the slightest to pick these up again if they were available on a 24:24 sale. 1

Thanks for the mini-review John. I picked up a five pack as well and I'm eager to try them after a bit of rest.
JohnS Posted March 23, 2015 Posted March 23, 2015 Thanks for the mini-review John. I picked up a five pack as well and I'm eager to try them after a bit of rest. My pleasure! I forgot to add that with a 54 ring gauge by 5.9 inches (150 mm), you need 90 minutes to 2 hours to truly savour it! 1
GraByaGaR Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Very cozy cigar. Earthy hoyo but with a nice short bread sweetness..love em!some have a slight uneven burn but easy to fix up and a nice ash... recommended! !
SmittyinAZ Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Heading to the D.R. in 7 days, will definitely be bringing one of these for a nice after dinner burn.
