Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No.2 Robusto

Darker wrapper than most Epi 2s I remember. Smells of barnyard on the wrapper, intense leather off the foot. Snug cold draw of tea leaves.

First light, light milk chocolate sweetness that brought an instant smile to face. Off the foot, however, the aroma is very faint. This seems to be a trend amongst Cuban vs New World cigars, with the latter being more aromatic off the foot. The draw remains very snug and might have caused the uneven burn going on, by me trying so hard and so often to draw out these wonderful flavors - chocolate, malt, salted caramel - from the stick.

Halfway through, the jolly sweetness is joined by that Cuban Twang we all so love and adore. How can you hate this cigar? The draw has opened up significantly too!

Towards the nub, some toasty coffee flavors join the fray without taking away from the previous bed of sweetness. The footsmoke has turned into a very sweet, bakery smell which I cannot get enough of.

Sadly, this cigar had to end, and it did so with a toasted chocolate chip cookie taste that I wish would never leave me.

Épicure

Épicure (341-270 av. JC) était un philosophe de la Grèce antique, fondateur de l'École Épicurienne d'Athènes, qui enseignait que "le plaisir est le principe et la fin d'une vie heureuse." Ce fut un écrivain prolifique, accumulant 37 volumes, mais malheureusement seuls des fragments et quatre lettres subsistent. Ses enseignements influencèrent de nombreuses personnes qui suivirent, comme Lucrèce de Rome et son ouvrage De la Nature des Choses, et les utilitaristes Jeremy Bentham et John S. Mill.
