Why this cigar
The flagship of the Epicure line adds extra length and poise to Hoyo’s creamy, floral style. If you’re reading a Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial review or looking to buy Hoyo de Monterrey cigars UK, this Robusto-plus format delivers refined sweetness and an unhurried, luxurious burn.
Flavour & draw
Silky layers of sweet cedar, warm pastry and acacia honey open the palate, followed by vanilla biscuit, toasted almond and light cocoa. Hints of orange blossom and gentle white pepper keep things bright. The 50 RG ensures thick, cool, aromatic smoke with an even burn and an easy, composed draw.

“Beautiful to behold, with a wrapper that’s the rich color of bronze. The full, lush draw imparts a sweet, nutty smoke with underlying notes of earth and oak, and a snap of leather on the finish.” Cigar Aficionado (92 points)
