Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure de Luxe : TOS FEB 16 : HDM Review Comp 2016

[Cigars4me]

I had a HDM du Prince yesterday which I just posted a review on, today I'm trying the Epicure de Luxe since yesterdays experience was so disappointing

When I purchased these just a few weeks ago Rob described them as: "If you enjoy brownies with a dash of ice cream then that is what you are getting here in spades.
  Really, lashings of it. If you are into your earth/leather/savory spices then run a hundred miles. This is one of those cigar versions of dessert"

Some minor imperfections in the wrapper
Salty taste
First light mild sweetness
First 1/3
Some barnyard and hay
A touch of pepper
Second 1/3 some uneven burn
sourdough on the retrohale
getting a bit of leather and more pepper
The flavors are not what I was expecting from Rob's description, but the aroma is rich and lovely.
The last 1/3 starting to get some spiciness
Same as yesterdays experience, I think I need to put these down for a long rest before dipping into them again.

Agree might bee too early. Have a 2014 box which is great for me right now.

Never had one of these, thanks for the review!

I've had a few of the HDM and I think it's a tasty cigar. I'm going to put the rest of them away for awhile but overall I've been quite pleased with them.
