The Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure 3 opens with vibrant, earthy flavors complemented by notes of cedar and leather. As the cigar develops, it reveals hints of coffee and subtle spices, adding depth and complexity. Its creamy texture, smooth draw, and consistent burn reflect the high standards of Hoyo de Monterrey’s craftsmanship.
Perfect for both experienced smokers and those new to Cuban cigars, the Epicure 3 offers an exceptional and enjoyable smoking experience. Its sophisticated flavor profile and elegant presentation make it a standout choice for aficionados seeking a top-quality Cuban cigar.
Cold draw is smooth with notes of pastry and dried fruits.
The cigar is extremely well-balanced right from the first indulgent puffs, with light traces of hay that reveal its youth. Medium body, with a characteristic Hoyo DNA, though less creamy, more spiced, with light shortbread notes reminiscent of the H.Upmann Connoisseurs series.
Coffee and cocoa notes show up as well, becoming more pronounced in the second third, which deepens the same elegant aromatic profile without falling into intense spiciness.
The last third elegantly intensifies, delivering shortbread & cookies notes.
Great care has been taken in the elaboration of this vitola, both in the blend offering a precise aromatic profile—where the Hoyo lineage is clear—and in the attention given to its exemplary construction, allowing for an effortless draw with a comforting smoke volume.
A real success, the youngest yet the best Hoyo recently smoked.
