Hoyo de Monterrey Grand Epicure Edición Limitada 2013

The Hoyo de Monterrey Grand Epicure is a crown jewel in the cigar house’s lineup. This 4” 50 ring gauge Montesco vitola is ideal for the smoker who prefers a lighter and more delicate smoking experience while retaining the complexity of a classic Habano. 

The draw is quite loose, with harmonizing dark chocolate and earth flavors delivered throughout the initial third. In the middle third, you’ll taste the true character of the tobacco with added spicy, leathery notes. While it does burn a little wavy, the aromas build to a resounding crescendo over the 40-60 minute smoking experience with savory mushroom and grilled steak rounding out the flavor profile.
