Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo du Depute 2017 (S&FBRW)

[ha_banos]

I've had about a quarter of this box. Quite a robust cigar. Strong flavor. Pretty singular. Not complex. But not just dry tobacco. Not much of a finish on it. And more satisfying than any of the shorts.

And can easily last over 45mins for a slow smoker. Needs a coffee or something though.

Not bad for a short skinny. 38 by 4⅜. I've just topped up another box!

I am a fan of the Depute. It is rare that I get "blown away" but I am generally treated to a rich cigar experience with a minimum of fuss. It is what a cigar should do and the Depute does it so damn well. it is a cut above. Thank you for the review

@Bijan got me to try these by having them in his regular (winter for sure) rotation. I have four or so boxes on hand now as they hit a certain spot that others don’t always hit.

Reyes of course, pre-price jack - used to be in the mix... (at least for me)

Once upon a time I liked Dip5s but that was many moons ago.

Need to try a Depute, sounds intriguing.

Any similarity to the departed du Prince?

Good review. The Le Hoyo du Depute’ is definitely one of my favorite short smokes — it has that sweet, creamy, rich flavor and twang that keeps me reaching for another. As someone coined the phrase a few weeks ago, it is certainly in that “cheap and cheerful” category.
