Hoyo de Monterrey - Epicure No. 3 - Box of 25 Cigars

The Epicure No.3 is the first figurado in modern times to join the classic range of Hoyo de Monterrey and is the first new addition to the linea since 2008. The Epicure No.3 joins the Epicure No.1, Epicure No.2, and Epicure Especial. The ring gauge of the Epicure No.3 allows the full potential of the blend to come to the fore - a supreme example of the Hoyo profile and taste. The tapered head once cut also produces a concentrated smoke that is delivered to the palate with voluminous flavours and intensity. The classic Hoyo de Monterrey line is typified by a delicate, cedar taste that remains light enough for inexperienced smokers, while offering enough elegance and layering of flavours to keep aficionados satisfied. Like the rest of the Epicure range, the No.3 is hand rolled using tobaccos harvested from Vuelta Abajo in Pinar Del Rio, Cuba which is widely regarded as the finest tobacco growing region in the world.

 Hoyo de Monterrey are an exceptional Cuban Cigar brand, their cigars tend to be mild in flavour and are a light and easy to smoke cigar, don't let the mildness put you off though as there are still many rich flavours you receive from these cigars. In 1831 Don Jose Gener y Batet at the age of 13 came to Cuba from Spain.  He worked on his uncles tobaccos plantation in Vuelta Abajo, where he learnt all there was to know about growing and producing tobacco for cigars. Fast forward 20 years and Don Jose produced his own line "La Escepcion" in his new factory in Havana, he then invested his profits in to purchasing one of the finest farmlands in Vuelta Abajo and registered the name Hoyo de Monterrey, which in English means " the hole of the Monterrey". The brand became incredibly popular and was especially popular in the UK by the time Don Jose Gener passed away in 1900 his cigar brand was one of the biggest in Cuba.
