Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 JR Alternatives have been a pretty good deal over years but the recent across the board price hikes (12-18%) do not reflect my COLA increase on a Civil Servants Disability retirement. Now I have to catch (try to) on a rare auction. I also hate that I have to Phone In for JR64MO so that when I see a 20% off it is always after hours so I can not call. Other than that they are not a match for what they are billed as but they are a very good cigar for price point. 4 5 1

Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 Great cigar! I really enjoyed this cigar. The construction was flawless and the burn line was razor sharp. I was able to get a deep earth and aged tobacco on the draw and the finish was a nice espresso and cocoa with a subtle almond. The finish flavor profile was very long and lasted almost to the next draw. The retro hale was perfect. Wil definitely be buy more of these. 5 5 1

Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 I decided to give these cigars a try because it looked like a great deal and I’m very pleased with my decision. At this price I can smoke these as a day to day cigar or hand out when friends are over without concern. The key to the cigar and many others is to not allow it to burn very hot. I used a torch lighter on the first one and it really didn’t give me many complex flavor until about half an inch in and then BOOM! Dusty cocoa nibs and smooth creamy leather and cedar. It was delicious! I started lighting them with cedar spills and I have not returned to the torch for these. Well constructed firm to the feel with a beautifully wrapped cigar. Burned even through the whole smoke and an easy smooth draw through the whole thing. I smoked it to about 1/2 inch and it never got too hot with a V-Cut. I will certainly order these again and can honestly say the JR Cigar brands are worth it. 4 5 1
Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 This Epicures have become my favorite cigars. They deliver full bodied tobacco flavor and aroma. Construction is usually flawless, often with a perfect burn line around the circumference. The bargain price is a bonus. I’ve smoked a lot of different cigars over the years, some 4 or 5 times the price of the Epicure and a lot of them were disappointing, usually because of construction resulting in a lousy draw, damn near giving me a headache just trying to get some smoke. 5 5 1
Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 Been smoking cigars and buying from Lew since the late 80’s. Smoked a lot of cigars over the years and have settled on these Epicures as my favorites, great tobacco flavor and fine aroma. Price point is a bonus. I disrobe them and age them in an old Hemingway Signature cedar box for added flavor. Delicious! 5 5 1

Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 I purchased these because they seem to be a good buy. I wasn't real sure about them but became pleasantly surprised they're a little strong at first but they smooth out and are a great smoke they burn quick which is good for a quick evening cigar 4 5 1
Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 Wow what a disappointment! With all the good reviews here I almost wonder if I got a bad batch. Really harsh flavor didn't even smoke 1/2 of my first cigar horrible taste. Tastes like an ashtray! Nothing like the Hoyos I've had in the past. 2 5 1
Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 This cigar is full of flavor. I was a bit worried when I gave it a dry draw but when I started smoking it heavy flavors of wood and spice with a leathery smoothness came out. The draw seems a bit tough but I'm definitely going to smoke again. 4 5 1
Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 Good cigar but QC seems to be off. First one was dry and already cracked. Second one was right. We’ll see how many more are cracked or dry. Ive got them in quarantine right now with a 70% Boveda pack. 3 5 1
