Hoyo de Tradicion Epicure Cigar Review

By Daniel | February 28, 2008

Brand: Hoyo de Monterrey
Line: Hoyo de Tradicion
Vitola: Epicure (Robusto) 5.25 x 50
Origin: Honduran
Wrapper: Honduran
Binder: Connecticut
Filler: Honduran, Nicaraguan, Dominican
Body: Medium
Strength: Medium
Box Price: $101.25 (Box of 25)

The Hoyo de Tradicion is a cool-looking cigar. Smooth, rosado wrapper with barely visible veins. Box-pressed. Handsome white band. It’s a newer release from Hoyo de Monterrey, which has recently garnered some attention for its Excalibur Maduro line. Jesse sent me this one, so I was eager to see how it was. (Thanks, man!)

Taking a prelight sniff, I found the HT was spicy enough to sting my nostrils a bit when I inhaled. Maybe I was stuffed up, or maybe I inhaled too hard, but I liked it. I also got a touch of cinnamon at the end.

Once lit, you’ll find the HT has a tremendous burn, along with a good draw, which allow hints of spice, cinnamon, peanuts and leather to pass through.

Verdict: It’s a good cigar for $4-$5. But for this price, I’d probably pick up the Partagas Spanish Rosado.

Similar cigars: I’d say it’s a slightly milder version of the Partagas SR.

Popularity: 10% [?]

    I thought they were a good smoke. while I enjoyed them and pick them up once in awhile I don’t go out of my way to find them.
