The Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 1 is a larger, more substantial sibling to the brand’s globally beloved Epicure No. 2, offering the same elegant, medium-bodied profile in a longer format that allows the flavors to develop more gradually. Grown in the prized Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba, the tobaccos used in this cigar are known for their refined, creamy character — a hallmark of the Hoyo de Monterrey marque since its founding in 1865.
On the palate, expect a smooth interplay of cedar, subtle citrus, light florals, and a gentle creamy sweetness that builds slightly in intensity through the second half. The construction is typically excellent, with a silky wrapper and a slow, even burn that makes this an ideal cigar for a longer, relaxed session. Often recommended as a daytime or early-evening smoke, the Epicure No. 1 pairs beautifully with lighter spirits, dry sherry, or a simple black coffee — a refined choice for those who enjoy a longer format without stepping into full-bodied territory.
