HhM is my favorite brand to smoke. From Epicure 1, to Petit Robusto, to Short Pyramid, each of them holds a special place on my palate. Although lately, H.Upmann range has been flirting me with their fantastic smoke, I will gladly smoke a HdM anytime. Who says you can only love one?
Had been tempted to buy a box of HdM Grand Epicure LE 2013 for a while. Review puts it as a great smoke, but the price is scaling towards the high side. Bought a loose stick 2 weeks back, and ready to taste this baby.

Hoyo de Monterey Grand Epicure LE 2013
Length: 5.1" Ring size: 55 |
First of all, I've never been a big fan of cigars with big ring size nor length. But this cigar doesn't waste time to impress you. 1 cm into the burn and the complex flavors start flowing in. It is rich and full bodied. The draw is smooth and burns well. By one third, the nuttiness tingles my palate, a soft spot for me. There is also an accompanying sweetness to it. There are a hint of spice but not strong.

Full bodied, rich and nutty.

Halfway through the smoke, I'm already hooked on this fabulous cigar. The great smoke continued all the way to the end. Took me over an hour to finish this cigar, leaving me with greater desire to buy a box.
