Pleasant peppery taste and aroma, expertly rolled and beautifully presented with an impeccable wrapper and smooth draw. Produced by one of the most famous cigar factories in Havana,the Partagas factory.

From the historic Cuban brand Hoyo de Monterrey, the Epicure Especial was introduced in 2008 (following its Limited Edition debut) and features the generous Gordito vitola of 5½″ length and 50 ring gauge. Crafted with the brand’s long-filler tobaccos from the Vuelta Abajo region, it delivers a smooth, elegant light-to-medium profile that remains distinctly refined and classically Cuban.

Stored best in a humidor at around 70% humidity and 21 °C, the Epicure Especial thrives when enjoyed at a relaxed pace, allowing its subtle flavour progression - from soft wood and nuts to hints of spice and leather - to unfold fully. Ideal for aficionados who appreciate a longer session with a cigar that blends tradition, finesse and refined construction, the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial SLB 25 is a distinguished addition to any humidor.
