The Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial is an elegant, aromatic Cuban cigar offering a beautifully balanced smoke that epitomises finesse and craftsmanship. Introduced as a limited edition in 2004 and later added permanently to the Hoyo portfolio, this cigar has become a modern classic among aficionados who appreciate subtlety, smoothness, and complexity.
Handmade in Havana at the La Corona factory, each Epicure Especial is constructed using carefully selected tobaccos from the Vuelta Abajo region, known for producing Cuba’s finest and most fragrant leaves. The result is a cigar that delivers a refined, light-to-medium profile with creamy texture and delicate depth.
The flavour begins with cedar, roasted nuts, and sweet cream, evolving into floral tones, honey, and gentle spice. Midway through, hints of vanilla, cocoa, and toasted almond emerge, creating a velvety balance of sweetness and savoury nuance. The draw is effortless and the burn impeccable, producing dense, aromatic smoke with every puff.
The Epicure Especial offers around an hour of refined enjoyment — a luxurious companion to Champagne, light rum, or fine coffee. Its balance of aroma, flavour, and smoothness makes it one of Hoyo de Monterrey’s most admired creations.
