Description

The Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 stands as a benchmark Cuban Robusto, measuring precisely 4⅞ inches long with a balanced 50 ring gauge, handcrafted at the historic Hoyo de Monterrey factory from select Vuelta Abajo tobaccos. Renowned for its elegant finesse, this medium-bodied puro opens with delicate floral notes and sweet hay, swiftly unfolding into creamy cedar, cocoa, vanilla pod, and warming cinnamon. Midway, subtle leather and roasted almonds emerge alongside a whisper of tropical fruit, building to a refined finale laced with white pepper and honeyed richness, all enveloped in copious, aromatic smoke over 60-90 minutes. Its hallmark lies in flawless construction—a laser-straight burn, velvety draw, and cool temperature—making it a perennial favourite among connoisseurs, often crowning global rankings. Ideal for versatile occasions from brunch to evening unwind, it pairs sublimely with cappuccino, tawny port, or crisp Sauvignon Blanc, embodying Hoyo’s tradition of nuanced sophistication without overpowering strength.
