Hoyo De Monterrey Grand Epicure Edicion Limitada 2013

Hoyo de Monterrey Grand Epicure Edicion Limitada 2013 – A Collector’s Take on the Epicure Line

The Hoyo de Monterrey Grand Epicure Edicion Limitada 2013 extended the marca’s celebrated Epicure family into a bigger ring gauge for one of Habanos’ yearly limited releases. Hoyo de Monterrey was founded in 1865 by Jose Gener on tobacco from the famed “hoyo” vega of San Juan y Martinez, and this Edicion Limitada is rolled in the Montesco vitola at 130 mm (5.1″) with a thick 55 ring gauge, dressed in specially selected, longer aged wrapper leaf as is customary for the programme.

Released in a box of 10, the Grand Epicure carries a medium body, fuller and more structured than the everyday Hoyo house style while still built around the marca’s core cedar and honeyed sweetness. It is aimed squarely at collectors curious how the Epicure DNA translates into a bolder, more contemporary format.
