Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 1

Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 1 is a Cuban cigar that achieves sophisticated harmony between refinement, smoothness, and tradition. Produced in the Corona Gorda vitola, the cigar boasts a longer size compared to the Epicure No. 2, which offers plenty of room for the intricate flavours of the mix to evolve with each puff. It’s an old school cigar for those who love finesse over brute force.

With a length of 143mm (5.6 inch) and ring gauge of 46, the Epicure No. 1 is a medium to mild-bodied, balanced experience. Full and deep in flavor, light cedar and floral honey on the draw give way to almond, vanilla, and muted herbal spice. Even burn and cool draw, the cigar presents patient smokers with an aromatic, very satisfying finish.

Very highly regarded among aficionados, the Epicure No. 1 is a morning or afternoon favorite smoke as well as aging extremely well. It’s perfect for those enjoying subtle complexity in a longer, more relaxed Cuban format.
