Luis Martinez Tres Petit Corona - 1 Single
by Richard
Nicely made, good aroma, perfect draw, but too strong for my taste. I expect that those who like a good strong cigar will find this a very enjoyable smoke, at a very reasonable price.

Not as strong as expected, which suits me. Excellent if medium strong and quite nutty is your taste.

At my first try of one of these I felt disappointed...probably because I was expecting more intense flavour from a name like Epicure Especial. However my first impression was wrong. I have just taken the time to try one of these again and approached it this time with a more open mind... I think the first time I was especting a punch in the mouth of flavour while not remembering that this after all was a Hoyo. Hoyo are more of a light to medium flavoured cigar and this one is no exception. The Epicure is a very smooth cigar, there is no bitterness here, for what is quite a young cigar. It has definite old but light tanned leather undertones coupled with what recognise as a taste of a subtle honey blossom, great for a english summer afternoon smoke. This is an easy smoke, a real relaxer, rather then a smack in the mouth of flavour... And now I have let my Epicure lay for a short time I am convinced they will probably just get better with age.

I read somewhere that the Behike was the ''most expensive cigar in the world'' That they probably are. Are they worth it? In my limited Cigar experience/knowledge yes absolutely just in the same way a bottle of Dom Perignon is. Yes there will be plenty of season smokers out there that say there are cheaper alternatives that bring just as much pleasure. However right from the point of picking one of these cigars out of the box I knew I was embarking on something a bit special...the construction feels and looks perfect... Normally I do not care to much for the first part of the cigar but this had me from the very start. Normally I chose a longer cigar and was concerned that the 54 might not give me enough but due to its thicker guage there was at least an hour in this. First notes that hit you are the strong complexity of the bigger cohiba's but then you quickly realise there is far more subtlty and smoothness in the Behike. Consistent draw throughout, perfectly straight ash. A combination of hazelnuts and soft leather with that cologne like finsish. Would I smoke a behike everyday no.

Wow! What a cigar! From the magnificent presentation of the cigar itself with its finely rolled outer shell, double golden labels, triple cap, to its sparklingly aroma of creamy chocolate and coffee. The length and gauge is just perfect, which reflects the overall taste! The draw was not too easy and not too strenuous, with the ideal amount of white smoke being bellowed out. The construction is well packed and holds itself even towards the final 1/3 of the cigar! The ash holds for around 2cm. The taste as I said is wonderful, with it starting off a little strong on the palette but eventually mellows down to a medium roast of chocolate and coffee. It took 80 minutes to smoke this bad boy, and boy was it worth it!
