Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 (tubo) - single 2021 (XNYRW2)

[Superhans]

Stick looked and smelled great and hadn’t tried one in a while. Thought I’d grab a single for an evening walk around town while nosing on the neighbourhood Christmas lights. Robusto size is perfect for me and one I smoke more than any other. Usually stick to a RASS or CORO but fancied something different.

 

1/3 full of flavour - rich and savoury but not too overwhelming. Bit of spice and toast. Draw however a bit of a struggle and being out on a stroll I didn’t have the perfect draw. 

2/3 smidge of cocoa but only brief. Burn excellent despite poor draw. 

3/3 pretty consistent all the way down. Nice smoke just shame about the draw. 

 

Personally much prefer a Rio Seco if I’m in the mood for a Hoyo but an Epi 2 is always a solid smoke.

 

86 - draw issue but otherwise very pleasant
