The original Epicure in the elegant Corona Gorda format—airy, aromatic and effortlessly refined. If you’re reading a Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 1 review or looking to buy Hoyo de Monterrey cigars UK, this size delivers classic Hoyo sweetness and floral lift in an unhurried, under-90-minute smoke.
Flavour & draw
Silky waves of sweet cedar, fresh pastry and acacia honey, opening to vanilla biscuit, toasted almond and light cocoa. Hints of orange blossom and white pepper keep the palate bright. The 46 RG keeps smoke cool and perfumed with an even burn and an easy, composed draw from first light to band.
Size guide
Compare this vitola: Robusto • Churchill • Toro (slimmer than a Robusto for extra elegance, similar length to a Corona Gorda classic).
Pairing & when to smoke

Genuine & stored right
For Cuban cigars: EMS-stamped and sourced via official UK channels. All cigars are stored in our London humidors under stable conditions (~65–70% RH).
