From the Vault: The Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur series is supposed to offer a little more flavor and quality than the regular Hoyo line. Made by General Cigar Co. the Epicure is one of their more popular frontmarks.
This cigar is not bad at all; age has been very kind to it. It is a medium-bodied cigar; I taste a slight creaminess with wood, leather and some tobacco on finish.
This was a well constructed cigar; it burned evenly and had long ash. It was not a complex cigar and there was really nothing bad to say about it. I liked it but can’t say I’ll go out and buy a box either.
