HdM Du Maire DIC 18 (HDMCRW)

[shippers]

My first Cuban ever (excluding a few fake Cohibas) was a Hoyo and many cigars later I still enjoy the Marca. But I haven't really strayed from the Epi 2 so on my lunch break I'm trying the Du Maire.

It's a small cigar! Tiny. There is something about the size I quite like. The draw is firm but in a cigar this size that's no bad thing.

The first half is a bit peppery and sometimes bitter on the first few puffs but once it opens up it hits that typical Hoyo cedar and cream. Lovely.

The final half starts to concentrate on the creaminess. Similar to the Epi 2 but slightly more almond / marzipan to it which is really smooth and a little kick at the end.

Paired with a espresso sat in the Dunhill sampling lounge in London it's a wonderful lunchtime smoke. I can see myself having many more.
