Great little cigar! A little pricy but it is a cuban. Lasted about 40 mins which i was surprised about. The burn was a little uneven and the ash was quite flakey. That said, nice and smooth with light woody notes throughout. Nothing to write home about in complexity but a great smoke for beginners and someone liking a lighter taste, no pepper or bitterness. Very good drew and smoke output. Great for weddings where you dont want to be nursing a 2 hour double toro haha!

Best cigar in the Hoyo range and my favourite cigar, absolutely gorgeous. If you havent tried one of these sticks ask yourself why, you wont regret it.

Great little cigars, mild with nice typical Dutch blend flavours with a hint of spice, they last me at least 25 minutes outdoors so excellent value for money!
I just wish the finish lasted a bit longer.
I rate them 4.9 out 5

I guess you would say that I am a seasonal cigar smoker, that is to say, that I don’t smoke every day and ususally only outside in the summer. So after my winter cigar hibernation,(from which I emerge maybe once on New Year’s Eve for a rather chilly herf huddled around the patio heater), I like to start off the season by aclimatising my pallate with a milder cigar, usually an HdM Epicure No.2. My enjoyment of cigars is usually curtailed by the weather conditions and my ability to sit still and enjoy a cigar without the cold making it a more rushed experience than I would like. After an unusually stunning summer here in the UK and some wonderfully relaxing herfing while in France, the last few weeks of wet and dreary weather had left me hankering for a cigar.
Today’s conditions were as perfect as we are likely to get for some time, so suitably attired, I headed out to the garden with an relatively mild espresso, a tot of Havana Club Especial and a petit robusto.
As with most HdM cigars, the construction is very good, with lovely matte oily wrapper starting to develop after a l

This cigar is quite interesting. It has a number of benefits -
1. Its dry cured so it doesnt need a humidor, though like any dry cured cigar it tastes a bit better IMO after proper humidification.
2. Its pre-cut so it can be smoked anywhere at any time.
3. Its quite a decent ring gauge and length - just shy of a petit corona. It certainly feels like a real cigar rather than a cigarillo like a half corona from Henri Wintermans.
4. It burns well and lights very easily - never had an issue with it burning in strange ways.
5. It comes in a tube despite being sold for less than a fiver, whereas its Cuban competitor Guantanamera is a good few pounds more for a tubos. The tube means it can be stored and protected anywhere.
The main con -
It tastes like a Henri Winterman i.e. relatively cheap, Dutch tobacco. I happen to like the flavour so its not a con for me, but if you like the flavour of Cuban or Nicaraguan tobacco and just cant stand the Dutch mix of Brazilian and Indonesian leaf it wont be for you.
I think this is excellent value for a cigar and it is very useful for
