Hoyo De Monterrey le Hoyo du Prince : TOR NOV 15 : HDM Review Comp 2016

[Cigars4me]

Almuerzo Size, 5-1/8 x 40
First puff sweet baked bread, followed by dry hay aroma.
Having a lot of trouble keeping this one lit.
First half was very mild with grassy aroma.
Second half got harsh with a mono flavor profile I could not put my finger on.  Poor uneven burn and hard keeping lit.
Over all, sad to say this was a very disappointing cigar.
I only had a couple weeks to rest from receiving it.  Could be causing the issues with burn and flavor.
I won't be touching these again for a while.

Sorry to read your experience wasn't good, hopefully they'll improve!

 lack of aging + too much moisture(obviously)=bad hoyo

Stored at 62% for 2+ weeks, should not have been too moist.

Your experience sounds much like mine. Got a box in, ROTT was bad, a couple weeks later was a little better. I'm thinking that I won't be touching mine for at least 6 months. Kind of sad because in the 24:24 I bought them from, they were said to be smoking great right now.

Just finished one received a few weeks ago smooth,consistent maybe a couple of weeks from excellent. First one prior was to young and grassy at end with a little tunneling end of first third.  Friend who shared wasn't as lucky more tunneling and got sour guickly. Will revisit in a few months.

I have the same box code, I smoked the first one after 10 weeks of acclimating in my cooler.  I really enjoy them for a mild to medium cigar.  I find the pretty complex with nuances that grab my attention.  I think a little more time to acclimate will really help.

Got a box en route. Good to know the varies experiences. Sounds like a couple months acclimation (at least) before trying.
