HDM Epicure Especial: TEA/Sep15: HDM Review Comp 2016

[Sean3]

Just wow!  This HDM EE was gifted to me by a generous member of this forum, you know who you are!  So, to the good stuff...An extraordinary example for sure, I couldn't keep my grubby paws off of it.  Our fearless leader, El Presidente, wrote of having "manly feelings" about some sultry Epi No. 2's that were put up on 24:24 several days ago...I understand!  I think I had a tingle run up my leg as I ogled this beauty.  I couldn't be bothered with pre-light this and that, and fired this baby right up.  Mild to start, some light cream and cedar.  Within a half inch, flavor kicked in with aplomb.  Hoyo cream, milk coffee, and some nuttiness, very nice!  By the time I got to the halfway point, this thing was a veritable flavor bomb!  The creaminess picked up, as well as some sweetness, coffee, and a new flavor to me...hazelnut, bam!  These flavors ebbed and flowed to varying degrees, making for a complex superstar, that settled right into my wheelhouse of flavor.  Smooth throughout, this stunner rates right up there with an Upmann Mag 56 LE I had a couple days ago, and matches it for my personal cigar of the year!  It's with gratitude that I thank the member whom gifted me this.  If you haven't tried this one, run, don't walk, and get you one.  Cheers!

Great review.

 

I've been really enjoying these. Love that they come in 10-count boxes as well!
