Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especiale 5.5"50ga Cigar

The Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especiale is a premium Cuban cigar and one of the best-known vitolas in the Hoyo de Monterrey portfolio. It is prized for its creamy, aromatic and relatively refined Cuban profile, rather than brute strength.

Length: 5.5 in / 141 mm

Ring gauge: 50

Diameter: 19.8 mm

Smoking time: 60–90 minutes

The Epicure Especiale works particularly well with:

• Aged Cuban or Caribbean rum
• Cognac
• Single-malt Scotch
• Espresso
• Cappuccino
• Dark chocolate
• Roasted nuts
• Mild to medium-strength cheeses

For a spirit pairing, an aged Cognac or mature rum complements the cigar's creamy tobacco and subtle sweetness particularly well.
