Review Notes: This is NOT a mild cigar. It might be "Milder" than the usual Hoyo de Monterrey line (Excalibur is made by HDM) but they are not a true mild cigar. I tried a 5-pack of these epicures on the advice of a friend, and at various stages of aging (fresh on delivery, 2 months, 9 months, 1 year) have found them consitently harsh, bitter, and grassy. They DO look sexy in the humidor, but I plan to fob off the last one to someone who prefers full-bodied, shitty-tasting cigars. Yuck.
