Hoyo de Monterrey is interesting brand with a wide selection of premium cigars. Like I said earlier, I've always been curious about the brand and most of the Hoyos I've tried have got good construction and idyllic flavor so I decided to do a comparison regarding the Epicure series. It is a serie that is widely known all over the world among all cigar enthusiasts. The Epicure line carries a mild to medium flavor profile so they are perfect Cubans to beginners but they also have lots to offer for an experienced aficionado. The main flavors are usually woody, sweet, floral, coffee like etc.
By saying someone's an epicure we often mean a person who likes to consider him/herself as a passionate wine, food or cigar hobbyist more than a person who likes to eat junk food and candy. Well this Hippie likes to play an epicure sometimes but also likes to eat junk. He wants to find out what the Epicure line is all about and which cigar is gonna be the possible winner. Let's find out what is the meaning of the epicure- word in this case!
The idea of the battle (warning: this may upset new aficionados)
The idea is very simple and brutal: There are five contestants locked inside a humid box and there is no way out. Their souls have been sold to the devil for different reasons and one by one they're going to be smoked alive. But there's a challenge: The devil will reward one contestant who will give the best smokes and flavors while flaming. The prize is a contestant's soul which will given back by the devil.
Devil: The Hippie itself
