Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure de Luxe LCDH TOS Feb 17 (HDMCRW)

[nKostyan]

1/3: black pepper, oak tannin, cream, minerals. Full body, medium-full strength. Powerful cigar. I have been adjusting to these box for a long time, as a result I Smoke it with slow delicate puffs. The taste is characteristic for Cuban Maduro. Mouth dry, requires a drink.

1/3+1.5 cm: cigar suddenly changes taste. Fried tobacco, burnt sunflower seeds, sour cream, oak, pepper.

2/3: profile has not changed. Wood-nut-cream. Tannins are present, but it adds piquancy rather than discomfort. Puffs should be sure to pause for about a minute, then the taste is unmatched. Excellent balance of taste, body and strength. Again emerged black hot pepper.

3/3: it is dominated by black pepper. In the end the smoke was hot and I leave the nub is not smoked to the end.

Conclusion: this is an unusual HdM, smoky and powerful. Not suitable for frequent Smoking. But of course - an outstanding blend. 5/5 stars

Great review. I've got a note saying this was my cigar of the year for 2016 so I must try another. Soon!
