What Does the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 Taste Like?
The Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 tastes delicate and aromatic, opening mild and building through cedar, cocoa, coffee, roasted nuts, spice, and citrus. Some smokers also notice caramel and white pepper. A distinct creaminess runs through the smoke, staying present until the finish.
The flavour builds gradually rather than hitting hard early. That layered profile is a big reason it’s a favourite among Cuban cigar fans.
How Long Does the Epicure No. 2 Take to Smoke?
The Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 takes about 45 to 90 minutes to smoke, depending on pace. Its 124 mm length and 50 ring gauge suit an after-dinner slot or a relaxed coffee break. Slow puffs keep the burn even and let the layered flavours come through clearly.
Puffing too fast can flatten the delicate cedar and cocoa notes. A calm pace rewards you with a cleaner, steadier burn.
How Does the Epicure No. 2 Compare With the Epicure No. 1?
The Epicure No. 2 is a Robusto at 124 mm by 50 ring gauge, while the Epicure No. 1 is a longer Grand Corona at 143 mm by 46 ring gauge. Both share the same delicate, aromatic Hoyo de Monterrey character, but the No. 2 gives a shorter, thicker smoke.
Want a longer format in the same house style? Look at the Epicure No. 1 or Epicure Especial, or explore Montecristo for a different Cuban profile.
How Should I Store the Epicure No. 2?
Store the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 in a humidor at 65 to 70 percent humidity and 18 to 21 degrees Celsius. Dubai’s heat dries cigars fast, so a sealed cedar humidor is worth using. This cigar tends to keep its composure well with proper storage, giving a cleaner, steadier burn over time.
