Being a massive fan of the epicure 2 I decided to give the de luxe a try. I’m a bit sceptical about the lCDH line as it seems a bit hit n miss in my opinion. Nonetheless I gave it a try and wasn’t disappointed. Upon lighting I was met with flavour of slight pepper and cinnamon. The pepper died down almost immediately. The second third continued with the cinnamon met with some vanilla and honey in the background. Most of the final third continued that same profile. I did get hints of leather which tended to come and go. Burn was great and combustion also. Didn’t have to relight. My final thoughts are it’s a nice cigar and not too much in difference to the epicure 2 which makes you think what’s the point. But considering it has the same price point you could take your pick or take both and compare.

I bought a four pack of these recently and found that every one had a poor cap, which led to the wrapper starting to unravel and the smoke wasnt as enjoyable as it could have been. The tobacco itself though is very nice, a mild and sweet taste with plenty of smoke and a good draw which got a bit peppery in the last third.. The burn wasnt particularly even all the way down with some touch ups required but the ash held well.

So, I compared it to the NUB 354, and definitely find the NUB to be a superior smoke, especially at £13 a stick.

This is the one! I recently smoked a Davidoff Grand Cru, at around £25, for comparison. For me, this is a superior easy-going smoke and ive now confirmed it as my go-to cigar (Hoyo number 2 being another contender). These NUBs just give me everything- great draw, good structure of flavours, good amount of smoke and perfect in the hand. Congrats NUB!

The presentation is good and a nice draw, getting to the last third it gets very hot. Taste like ashtray or like a cigar that has been relit after few days. Smell is not great. Looking good but has nothing to offer besides a taste of ash.
