HDM Epicure Especial EL KMM DEC 04

Buttery crème start, sort of mild

Bought a fiver of this

Carambola(starfruit) taste, aged tobacco, light coffee/milk combination in 1/3, picks up more complexity in 2/3, leather, stronger cream,

Curious to see how it stacks up against the new non-EL Epi Especial version from HDM

Medium, no aftertaste, smooth at first, minimal aftertaste developing in 2/3

Best 2/3 of a cigar I have had in a while

One of the best I have smoked in last 90 days J

Sweet/spice combo is amazing

About $700 a box if u can find them

White-grey speckled ash

71 mins smoke time

Cuban draw

Solid Medium smoke overall

Initial uneven burn due to busted foot but worked itself out

9.3/10……..Dont know if it can get better with age since its an 2004 already but maybe?

I really didn't like these when they were young. Good to hear that they've come around. Thanks for the review.

Tell me about it , but the good thing during my testing in the last 90 days, I found have found some really cheap CC along the way.......at the same time, I have also found a lot of expensive ones too

Who said this hobby was cheap

This hobby is a lot of different things to a lot of people, but cheap isn't one of them. Thought Czar goes a long way to taking much of the sting out.
