Review by Puroexpress:
The Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 is a quintessential example of Cuban cigar elegance. From the initial draw, it presents a floral bouquet that gracefully transitions into a rich tapestry of cinnamon, sugar, leather, and earth. This robusto’s balance and sophistication are exemplary, with each puff revealing a new layer in its complex profile.
The construction is flawless, providing an open and even draw and burn, which underscores its balanced nature. As the cigar progresses, the interplay of sweet and leathery notes continues, culminating in a refined and memorable smoking experience. The Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 is a stellar choice for aficionados seeking a medium-strength cigar that delivers a classic, yet nuanced taste profile.
