The Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 1 Cigar is a distinguished choice for aficionados seeking a refined Cuban cigar experience. As a Coronas Gordas, it measures 143mm in length with a 46-ring gauge, offering a format that is both trendy and traditional.
This cigar is known for its light-bodied smoke, yet it doesn’t compromise on delivering a rich tapestry of flavors. The profile is characterized by a delicate balance of woody notes, cream, and leather, with a subtle sweetness and a hint of vanilla, creating an elegant and aromatic experience. The concentration of flavors is moderate, making it a milder alternative to stronger options like the Punch Punch or Cohiba Siglo IV, yet it still retains plenty of fragrant complexity.
Visually, the Epicure No. 1 stands out with its two bands—one showcasing the brand and the other the cigar’s name. The cigars are beautifully presented, bundled with a ribbon imprinted with the brand’s name, and encased in a cedar wood slide-lid box, reflecting the brand’s commitment to quality.
With a smoking time of approximately 35-45 minutes, this vitola is perfect for those who appreciate a nuanced, light smoke. The Hoyo de Monterrey brand, originating from the fertile lands of San Juan y Martinez in the Vuelta Abajo zone, is synonymous with a delicate yet complex Habano experience, making the Epicure No. 1 a timeless favorite among cigar enthusiasts.
