Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure Number 2: Robs Robusto samper: HDM Review Comp 2016

[backbone]

 

Start time 7pm

Cold draw was earthy in nature, a mixture of peat and hay.

Paired with Makers Mark on the rocks and Chris Stapleton on the Bluetooth.

First third was a cream bomb explosion!  It really blew me away. I found it medium light in body,  Kinda like my high school sweetheart.

Second third brought a little leather and spice to the party. Just like the stripper you hire for the bachelor party.

Last third was more cream with leather coming in and out, some pepper as well.   Brought it home for the win!

I smoked this one down to the nub.  My favorite cigar so far on my CC journey.

End time 8:15pm

I would rate it an A, because I don't have the point system down yet.

Just got a single from our host yesterday. I can't wait to try it but I want to give it the proper amount of rest first. How long did you let it sit before smoking it?

Nice review.

About 30 days.  

I have made the mistake of not waiting, and wasting good sticks from being too wet.

Thirty days it is. Dangiit...

I was looking forward to the comparison to a woman in the final 3rd review. We had high-school sweetheart and a stripper.

Love the comparison. Great review. Bought some sticks last May while in Sint Maartin. Not the best of the Epi #2's but they will do till Rob has some more on the 24/24

I was lucky enough to score a box of  psp/hq from the 24/xx!

 They are so pretty!  I can't wait until they are settled in!
