Excellent cigar from Hoyo de Monterrey. The Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure No.1 has a refined flavor profile – lots of honey and nuts. Draw was perfect and it burned for about 83 minutes. Only minor complaint is it’s slightly strong for my taste, but overall a great smoke.

The Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure No.1 is a respectable cigar. Nice notes of mild spice and earth, decent construction. However, I found it a bit one-dimensional compared to other Hoyo de Monterrey offerings. Not bad, but there are better options in this price range.
