The stars of Hoyo de Monterrey, Epicure Especial really are special Cuban cigars. They surprise with the appearance, the taste and the construction as well. The nice, brown wrapper of these wonders is of a great quality, and it doesn?t break, not even when lit. The band they are rolled with is quite attractive, a testimony of their provenience. They are of medium to full strength, very intense and when you light them, you can feel a very original and quite complex mix of tastes and flavors. Spice, earth, wood, mushrooms and herbs. It is all there, just waiting to be tried out.
