Review Notes:
Perfection. cubas most under-rated smoke, especially when shadowed by the PSD4 or Cohiba. this just out performs, stick after stick. its thin supple wrapper is very attractive, its flavor is med-full bodied with a more medium delivery. rich habano flavor tickles your palate like crushed velvet.
my G.O.A.T.

Review Notes:
This is a mild to ..maybe medium..cigar. But talk about smoooooth. The flavors are somewhat complex and good and the construction flawless. The burn is good and so is the draw. If you want a mild easy robusto, this is your cigar.

Review Notes:
The Epi 2s I just got ( from '04 ) are all that I hoped they'd be: great performers with a perfect draw and amazingly straight burn to the end; produce copious full bodied smoke with a creamy "twang", lots of sweet spice and a rich earthy character throughout. It's hard to put them down.

Review Notes:
well, this was my 1st crack at a REAL ISOM....
construction is very good... not flawless due to small crack in foot...
the first 1/4in of the cigar was sharp, with lots of woody peppery taste.
i thought to myself.. Gee, these habanos are strong.. im not dissappointed one bit, but i am a bit suprised at the sharpness.
at the 1/2 inch mark the flavors mellowed out, now it was very smooth with a woody and slightly peppery taste.
at the 1inch mark the entire flavor profile changed 180 degrees. it was now Creamy, smooth and sweet. I was BLOWN AWAY at how this cigar tasted, like nothing i have ever had before. it was so smooth, and almost milky, with the wood flavor lingering in the background. the finish on the pallet was medium, lasting just long enough to really savor the flavors.
these fantastic flavors lasted until the final 1/3 of the cigar, when it turned darker with perhaps coffee flavors, still smooth and creamy, but with perhaps a plesant dark coffee taste.
the ash held on like a champ, and the burn was excellent, i only had to touch it up once towards the end.
overall a fantastic cigar, with sweet creamy flavor . (it actually tastes like sweet cream!! not smoke)

Review Notes:
Such a smoooooth cigar. After taking a good solid draw I can taste the smooth flavor rolling around my tastebuds. I have never yet had a hoyo that had a tough draw. Most hoyos burn really even too. Not to long ago I had a strong solid t-bone steak. I decided to lite a hoyo with it and it was perfect! What I also like about hoyos is when it starts to burn down towards the foot of the cigar it still hangs on to it's taste. Not all ciagrs still keep there taste near the foot of the cigar so that's another big reason I like sparking a hoyo up everyday.
