it probably needs some ageing or something, Im new to ageing cigars, and I haven't had this one that long since i bought it from cgars but, the draw was too airy and hardly any flavour. Draw did pick up in final third though and so did the flavour once i nubbed it. but over all slightly disappointing.

A sweet and woody cigar with plenty of creamy smoke and a spicy finish. needs ageing

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

Very much like a Rafarl Gonzales Perla, which to my taste is no bad thing. Great coffee time smoke, would recommend for people new to habanas, really mild and creamy with cocoa and vanilla notes.

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
