The Epicure Especial is the flagship cigar of the prestigious Hoyo de Monterrey brand. The flavor is unique for a Hoyo de Monterrey, with more depth and texture than many of their other cigars, but the flavor of the tobacco is unmistakably from the Hoyo de Monterrey Vegas de Primera fields in Vuelta Abajo, Cuba.  The cigar is rolled in a Parajo Toro format and is 5.5’’ long with a ring gauge of 50. 

The light Colorado wrapper gives off a complex range of aromas, from cinnamon to orange zest and vanilla. It starts bold with earthy undertones and sweet honey overtones accented by cumin and cardamom, maturing to leather and floral honey. It finishes with deep tones of oak and cedar, with hints of chocolate and cinnamon. 

Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial comes packaged in a deluxe aluminum casing to preserve the complex flavors. This cigar is delicious and best enjoyed on its own with a good book or on a leisurely stroll.
