Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial

[stargazer14]

I have a box from JUL 08, I tried a couple a few weeks after I got them

back in November and was not impressed.

And it wasnt that ugly second band throwing me off either.

Well I had another last nite and, I have to admit, it is really turning into something.

The final quarter didn't impress me, some harshness showing thru, but the first 2/3ds were very impressive.

Really enjoyed it. Look forward to hitting another in about 4 months.

Let me know if these are working out for anyone else.

I half to say along with the Mag 50, these 2 are by far some of the best and flavorful cigars that I have has in years. the top 2 of the past 5 years

Just had one of these tonight from the same year. Nothing but sweetness initially, then transitioned into some light creamy tea notes, extremely floral on the retrohale, with some cinnamon and nutmeg flavors when it reached the final third. Aging cigars can be a beautiful thing. I’m counting down the minutes until I can have another.

Smoked two 10 count boxes from '17 in the past year.  I really like them.

I have a 2018 box from our host that is smoking excellent right now as well.  Sweetness, nuttiness and a bit of whipped cream.  Draw on them is a little firm but still produces a great amount of smoke and burn line is sharp.
