One of the stars amongst cuban robustos. A generous and complex smoke, satisfying and yet a light vitola.
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 H.Upmann Epicures is an affordable, bold and complex Short Panetela, 4.3” (110mm) long, of 35 ring gauge, and comes in a 25 cigars box. This is a rather short smoke (less than an hour), that has the very DNA of H.Upmann, clean and strong tobacco flavor.
With greater lightness, freshness and richness of flavors, this Mareva resembles those of its kind, though still having its own character. Those who find Cohibas too strong shall find in the Siglo II the qualities that truly temper their nature.
It is a size that perfectly relates to the new-generation Habanos. If you are a smoker of this format, the Siglo III is one of the best, but if you smoke the traditional Cohiba sizes, you will find it too smooth.
The prince of its format Not in vain, before the Cohiba brand was marketed, this was the emblematic Habano which the Government of Republic of Cuba used as an official state present for its guests.
