The balance of flavors is impeccably structured, with just the right amount of spice adding a gentle kick without overpowering the more refined notes.
As the cigar burns, the Epicure No. 2 reveals layers of complexity, with flavors evolving in harmony. There is a subtle richness to the smoke, offering a sophisticated blend of chocolate, espresso, and a touch of dried fruit, creating a rich and fulfilling profile. The construction ensures an even, slow burn, allowing the flavors to unfold gracefully with each draw.
Perfectly suited for both seasoned cigar aficionados and those new to the world of Cuban cigars, the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 is a masterful blend of smoothness and complexity.

Review Notes: Excellent cigar to smoke outside on the terrace with a good expresso. Yes they're mild but that doesn't mean they aren't tasty. Could be a bit more complex but still a very enoyable cigar, which always will have a spot in my humidor. Just make sure you don't smoke them too young as they won't taste very balanced yet, they really benefits from some aging time.

Review Notes: Anyone who says that this cigar isn't a nice smoke didn't get an actual Cuban. Good clean drag, light/medium flavor with a deceptively robust amount of kick. Can't really go all the way down on it though because it burns just a bit hot for my taste.
"Fabulous Smoke"

Review Notes: Unlit scent of sweet hay and tobacco. Opens up with sweet cream and hay. Second third is coffee with cream and sweetness. Solid core of cream sweetness and coffee throughout. Final third finishes with toast and continued coffee and cream. Only slight problem was first third had an uneven burn but fixed after one touch up. Great cigar. Overall medium in strength. This is a model Habano that is readily available.

Review Notes: My old standby Cuban, I've been smoking HDM Epi #2's for the last couple years. Consistently very good. Smooth, spicy & sweet (almost like honey) all at once. Has the expected Cubano taste.
