  • HDM Grand Epicure LE 2013 - Review

    Length 5.1"
    RG: 55

    Cut: Punch
    Pre-lit draw: Perfect & free

    Drink: Large latte and a bit of 'Kinder Bueno' chocolate



    Mild & mellow.
    Notes of light toasted caramel with a slight sweetness.
    Nice amount of smoke on the exhale (not as lush as my beloved BHK).
    Reminding me so far of a nicer Hoyo No.1.
    One touch up required.

    Remaining light, with a touch of toasty caramel & tobacco.
    Approaching the halfway mark and the above flavours are diminishing.



    Flavours dying out now for sure as the burn approaches the bands.

    I remove the larger band and continue to smoke.
    However the flavours are gone totally, and I'm not feeling the urge to nub this one





    That's it for me.
    This was an enjoyable smoke until the burn line almost reached the bands.
    Maybe this one needs more time to fully develop?
    I'm glad though I sampled it. It was a week late Birthday treat - as I was down with a cold.
    ATB!

      Cheers bud.
      Enjoyable, mellow first half.
      Thereafter, wasn't worth smoking.

          I agree with your review as a whole I preferred a normal one. First half was good then went downhill.

                Honest review but give these a few yrs & I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. Hoyo's were never made for smoking young.

                    Enjoyed the first half, very much.
                    But just a shame the second half let it down.
                    Good advice from other though RE: age.

                      Wow 55 ring gauge, I rarely ever smoke puros that thick! Surprises me to hear it lost flavour, I always thought larger sticks tend to be more complex..

                        Wait for the Cohiba LE Robusto Supremo.

                          I'm gonna have to try that when it's out in the UK

                          Probably have a 'supremo' price tag though
