Hoyo de Monterrey epicure no 2 UEB May 18 (HRW)

[Kaptain Karl]

1/3rd

Cream, cedar, light spices. Mild strength and full flavor. The cream subsided while cedar takes the dominate role. The cream returns, and strikes a nice balance between cream, cedar and spices. 

2/3rd

Cream takes the forefront while the cedar and spices dissipate. Clove makes a slight entry, but hasn’t hit in force yet. By the middle of the mid third, clove and cream are both equal partners plummeting my palette, definitely becoming the best part of the cigar so far! 

3/3

The clove/cream interplay continues at full flavor. Not quite as rich as an Upmann Connie 1 or A, but still quite lovely. Deeper into the final third, cedar begins to creep back into the fold and make a strong reappearance. 

 

Overall, this was a very enjoyable cigar, especially for it being so young. 

 

90/100

Great review! I wasn't expecting it to be so good so young.
