This is a very flavourful Hoyo de Monterrey smoke. Released in 2012 exclusively for the Casa del Habano shops around the world. This is a mild-medium cigar, typical of the Hoyo line, but with a nice flavour throughout the smoke.
The New release of the Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure Especial in 2008. This was presented during the 2008 Festival del Habanos in Havana, Cuba.
The latest Limited Edition release for the Cohiba line. This Limited Edition’s leaves have been aged for over two years, awarding this extraordinary Habano a complex and highly aromatic character.
The H. Upmann Royal Robusto LCDH impresses once it is lit, with its spicy and roasted notes which show themselves very present from the beginning. Hints of dried fruits (apricots, raisins) and honey gradually add sweetness to this very harmonious taste palette. The final is more full-bodied with touches of leather. Its combustion and its draw are very balanced and are accompanied by a beautiful solid white ash.
This is the 2012 regular production of the extremely popular 2008 Limited Edition. Keeping to the flavours and body of it predecessor, this vitola is truly one of the best in recent years from Partagas.
The sublteness of this Cuban cigar derives from its precise construction, something that is technically hard to do with the Tres petit Corona, overheating is a problem that can be prominent in smaller cigars yet the No.5 has no such problems. So, no problems with this No.5 from Montecristo!
