FOH'ers Daily Smoke

Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo du Prince SOM Jun 2016

I pulled this out of by humidor, almost by accident, after re-arranging it to fit new cigars and so I decided to re-visit this to see how it was coming along. After smoking it I've been through 60% of the box, which makes me wonder if I will come to regret that fact in the future, especially as this vitola is now deleted.

The Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo du Prince had two things going against it, I suppose, when it was discontinued in 2017; firstly, it was a HdM Le Hoyo line vitola and secondly, although it wasn't quite a petit corona size, it's 40 ring gauge x 130 mm in length dimensions categorised it for future brand streamlining by Habanos S.A, which is what happened in January 2017. A possible third reason may be the fact that Le Hoyo line cigars traditionally take a long time to peak, in my opinion, and hence this may have effected sales.

It seems a strange thing to say that at almost 3 years of age this cigar needs significantly more time to mature, but judging by how little cream texture there was to this, I know that I may need to let the rest of the box rest a further 2 years prior to sampling the next one. The strength was not an issue, medium-mild throughout, but the dominance of cedar/wood, forest floor and mushroom flavours didn't allow any of the more subtle flavours to come to the fore such as light cocoa and hints of vanilla sweetness and that is what I'm looking for the next time I have one.

Just broke into these for Yankees/Red Sox steak night. Epi 2 was the first Cuban cigar I ever smoked and that has cost me dearly since! Still a big fan, especially dollar for dollar. The reservas are great!

Beautiful RYJ Wide Churchill from our host to wind down the week. Perfect draw, dead even burn and nice viscous smoke. Not too many better ways to wrap up a busy work week that I can think of!

How was this one?  I don't see much of it. Did you have a box code?

Thanks!

It’s 2 years old, not too bad. Good for a cheapie, could use a little more downtime but for the price I don’t feel bad smoking them young. Good value

My first ones headed my way, courtesy 24:24.  Can't wait to try 'em.

After months on the road, I am finally able to smoke my first Puntilla, courtesy of the generosity of @Fuzz, and the worldwide transportation services provided by @Luca. Creamy, with hints of almond, and shortbread. Splendid! Thank you guys!
