Overview And Tasting Notes
The Epicure No. 2 is the flagship robusto of the brand’s celebrated Epicure series. Renowned for its approachability and balance, it is handcrafted using select long-filler tobaccos from the Vuelta Abajo region and is considered a benchmark for Cuban robustos. The robusto of choice for many cigar epicureans. Formerly presented without any band, now it sports no less than two, so its identity is clear.
Founded in 1865 by Don José Gener y Batet, Hoyo de Monterrey is one of Cuba’s most historic and cherished cigar brands. The brand’s name, meaning “the Hole of Monterrey,” refers to the low-lying, fertile land along the San Juan y Martinez river in the heart of the Vuelta Abajo region - Cuba’s premier tobacco-growing area. Gener, a Spanish immigrant, invested decades in perfecting his plantation and cigar craft, quickly establishing Hoyo de Monterrey as a favourite among British and European cigar enthusiasts. Over the years, the brand has become synonymous with elegance, aromatic complexity, and a lighter, refined flavour profile, making it a top choice for those seeking sophistication without overwhelming strength.
HOYO DE MONTERREY EPICURE NO.2 TASTING NOTES
The Epicure No. 2 delivers a refined, evolving, and harmonious smoking experience.
Pre-Light: Intense aroma of nuts, wood, and subtle spice.
- First Third: Creamy cedar and toasted almond with gentle spice and a touch of sweet vanilla. Retrohale brings grassy freshness and floral undertones.
- Mid-Smoke: Flavours deepen into honey, brown sugar, cocoa, and earth, with a mellow nuttiness and a hint of lemon zest. Cedar and musk provide a complex backbone.
- Final Third: Flavours intensify with earth, coffee, and a toasty finish. Pepper and minerality emerge, balanced by lingering sweetness and a creamy texture.
- Aroma: Inviting, with notes of wood, chocolate, and a nutty, floral bouquet.
