Hoyo EL 2007 Regalos.
Hoyo De Monterrey 2007 EL Regalos. Ring gauge 46,137mm in the length.
Appearance; Very appealing Colorado Maduro shade wrapper. Not the usual Colorado-Claro finish you would normally associate or expect with the rest of the Hoyo range.
Construction; once again, this was first class, beautiful presentation and construction with a very slightly oily wrapper.Even before these cigars are lit they have a fantastic aroma of cedar wood and spice, and they actually reminded me of the R&J EL Escudos from the same year.
Taste; there are still the usual rich woody spiciness tastes as displayed in the likes of the Epicures and Double Corona, but the two year ageing process has intensified and amplified the depth of flavour in this cigar, and the general smoothnes of the taste is superior to any Hoyo I have previously smoked.
Prior to smoking one of these I had anticipated they would be a fine smoke; hovever the Regalos have gone beyond my expectations and are more refined and aromatic than any other Hoyo I have previously tried.
Summary; Took an enjoyable hour and 30 minutes to smoke, with outstanding draw throughout and burnt evenly right till the last.
Having smoked more Hoyos than any other brand, I thought i new what to expect from the range but this is a really nice quality cigar, and the initial aroma from the cigar had me salivating even before it was lit.
Would recommend without hesitation to either a beginner or seasoned smoker.
Score; I would rate this as a 9/10.

Very nice review, senor 
whisky. This puro has long been a favorite of mine and 
flying under aficionados' radar, as ELs go, for some time -sort of a sleeper stogie - until now, senor 
wordsmith!
