Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure Especial

Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial – The Gordito That Redefined the Range

The Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial brings a thicker, plumper silhouette to the marca that José Gener founded in Havana in 1865, named for the famous low lying (“hoyo”) vegas of San Juan y Martinez. Rolled in the Gorditos vitola at 141 mm (5.5″) with a broad 50 ring gauge, it is the shortest possible route to the Epicure line’s signature elegance, packed into a squat, satisfying format.

Light to light to medium bodied and finished in about 45 minutes, the Epicure Especial suits smokers who love the smoothness of the Epicure family but want more real estate for the smoke to open up in. Presented in a box of 25, it is fully handmade with 100% Cuban long filler from the Vuelta Abajo.
