My first review of my first Hoyo Epicure No.1
Great looking cigar with double banding and very good construction minimum veining and very smooth
The draw is excellent with tastes of fruit and malt in first and second thirds with spice coming in for the final third
Burn was good with a nice aroma and lasted 1 1/2 hours
To sum up the Hoyo Epicure No 1
Construction: excellent
Draw: excellent
Strength: medium throughout
Taste: fruity, malt for first and second thirds then with added cool spice for the final third
Burn: good
Aroma: nice
Overall: this is a fabulous cigar which in my opinion is better than the Epicure No.2 and well worth getting these in your humidor
Score: I score these 93/100
Like a milder fruitier D4 will definitely be getting more of thes

All I can say is WOW! This must rate as one of the best Robustos around. I loved the mild aroma with plenty of smoke, the cigar had a creamy taste, it burned very evenly and never got hot until the very end. The cigar seemed of an excellent standard of construction. I will purchase more of these without any doubt and cannot wait to try the Petit Robusto and the Epicure Especial. An excellent breakfast and day time cigar..

This was my first smoke since giving up cigarettes 16 years ago. A very gentle reintroduction to the temptations of tobacco. Drew well. No overwhelming nicotine. Remained very pleasant all the way through. No bitterness. Very enjoyable - would be a very good beginner smoke

Very let down. Didn't burn well and had a very hard draw. Felt like I was sucking for England but getting nowhere. Have another 3 of these in my humidor
Only hope they are better than this one !!!

Happy Valentines Day to all especially any lady herfers out there, the Epi 2 must rank in the top 3 Robusto cigars in the world together with the D4 and Wide Churchill they set the standard that other Robusto's espire to, the Epi 2 is very well built with double banding the draw and burn are just right the first third is quite mild in strength then building up with lovely fruity tastes the last third is fruity and spicy with a lovely aroma, suitable for all levels from the new starter to the Aficionado worthy of a place in your humidor.
