Hoyo De Monterrey, Habana
Epicure #2
This is one of my favorite smokes. Usually very dependable, but today was a battle from the beginning. This cigar is usually an hour of pure
enjoyment. I was so dissapointed when I clipped the head and took a draw; PLUGGED! I was able to pull very little precious smoke out of this
particular cigar. The smoke that did go through was decent, but hardly worth the effort. Not only was the cigar plugged, the burn was erratic and
towards the end the cigar became bitter and began to come apart. Epi #2's are a staple in my humidor, so I can only hope the next one is more
on the lines of what I'm used to smoking. Let's not forget this is a hand made product.

I had a Ramon Allones Gigantes in Cuba that was plugged so bad I thought I was going to hyperventilate while trying to coax some smoke out of the damned thing. The next one was wonderful. I guess one can never be sure with organic things like cigars!
These are one of my favorites, as the 07s are smoking wonderfully. Hope your next one gets back to what you are used to!
