Had 1 of these bad boys in a recent purchased chubby selection . This was definitely my personal favourite . Excellent hour or so relaxing smoke . Light tangy peppery taste , easy draw with ample plumes of think creamy smoke . Cheaper than my usual cubans of choice well worth a try . Love this gauge size big fat bad boy smoke . Shorty also great with smaller gauge . Well worth a punt .

Having heard good things about the Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure No 2, I decided it was time to give it a go. The first thing to note about this cigar is its appearance on the eye. From the rich warm colour of the wrapper, to the bold double band printed in red, gold and white, this cigar seemingly oozes real quality. The feel of the cigar is compact without being too rigid, which should hopefully allow for a good draw. Finished with a tidy double cap, simply holding this cigar makes me feel more elegant.
Upon lighting, the first few draws bring with it a smooth creamy taste, with hints of wood and chocolate. As I progress, the burn is excellent, with delicate white spots visible in the ash. The draw is good also.
Into the second third of the cigar, the smoothness remains, however a hint of cinnamon begins to emerge, along with further intensified flavours of chocolate and wood. The burn remains excellent at about thirty minutes into this medium bodied cigar.
Flavours remain similar into the final third of the cigar, with a smooth creamy taste, complimented by subtle hints of

San Cristobal El Principe Cigar - 1 Single
by Jennifer
As a novice smoker researching the cigar selection for our wedding, this was bought on recommendation from your shop in Glasgow as the ideal length of smoke for this occasion.
Smoked after brunch at a civilised Glasgow cafe, it started out with a light draw but soon developed into something more substantial, and a coffee latte complimented it very well indeed.
It lasted a satisfyingly long time, and while classed as a light to medium cigar, certainly gave this novice a powerful smoking experience.
Definitely a serious contender for our wedding selection.

This was my first cigar ever, and having researched for well over a week, I decided on this cigar.
Having researched for a nice, mild cigar, I have only just discovered that this was infact full bodied!
Upon recieving the cigar, as a complete beginner I went about sniffing the cigar like a basset hound, to my pleasure, it smelled mildy pleasant and I felt it was going to be a good smoke.
Upon researching how to cut, light and survive the cigar, I went about smoking. The C.Gars cutter I purchased was a messy job, but the job was done and the cap was off to an appropriate degree.
The first puff of my first cigar is a moment I will seldom forget, I was instantly knocked back and whilst slightly concerned, I soldiered on through the cigar, Kinder Bueno on hand.
About 1/3rd through the cigar, I developed a nasty case of cigar sickness, however this cigar was the sort to punch you in the face whilst nursing it better. Despite being full bodied, it treated me well, burning very consistently until about halfway, which I blame on my lighting technique. The smoke was not insane

I got it as a free sample and it was better then all the other I bought. A great smoke. So I bought 10.
