Le Hoyo San Juan & holiday smokes

[Randolph]

This is certainly not one of my regular cigars and I probably wouldn't buy it again, but it did make a nice change. On a balmy evening in Fiji this cigar was certainly light on the palate but offered rich aromas that whistled around in the sea breeze. Nice aroma but lacked the punch I like from a Cuban cigar. She held her ash well right down to the last third without any attempt to delay its fall. I prefer an Epicure No 2 out of the Hoyo de Monterey range, as as recently noted on here the Epi 2 appears to have become a flavoursome little rascal.

Yesterday I smoked a beautiful Diplomaticos No 2. Was delightful, and probably one of the nicest cigars I've smoked in a long while. Flavour was superb and moved like a Fijian up an coconut tree (something I observed today) changing position from start to end. 

 

I also smoked irked a Cohiba Siglo III yesterday - was awful - terrible build, no smoke, and discarded at end of first third.
