Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Number 2 OBM MAR 17 (HRW) 

[Diabolicalpherpher]

This was from a clearance box from our host.  The offer was supposed to be from UEB ABR 18 but got a pleasant surprise with the box code and date.  I have had a few OBM boxes and they are all great and this one did not disappoint either.  The box is one of the most fragrant/pungent boxes that I have, in your face barnyard.

The cold draw is a Sweet Barnyard.  The draw is a bit loose and feels a bit underfilled.

First few buffs were a bit of bitter coffee, I guess I torched the foot a bit too much but after a few puffs, it settled in for the typical Hoyo cream and spice and the first third settles in for mostly cream and clove and hint of cinnamon.

 

 

Second third was cream and shortbread. Smoke production is awesome and the reason why I’ve been hitting the box more often than not recently.  

 

Last third was cream and baking spices.  A bit of youngness showed and I let it go a bit too long in between puffs and tunneled.  But a crack and relight got me going to the nub.

Overall a good smoking experience.  The stick was a bit of underfilled and I think because of that the ash constantly fell off before an inch. However the flavors were all there and it keeps me going back to this box constantly.
