Some of you asked me to try the Hoyo De Monterrey Grande Epicure 2013 Limitada when I acquired them a few weeks ago. All this time I have been trying not to think about them, the smell, the colour of the wrapper the feel and so on. Today I succumbed. I switched the outside heater on full, wrapped up really warm, large mug of Espresso and fired up the gorgeous Hoyo. From the start the flavours started evolving and developing, powerful but smooth, never harsh. Large blue clouds of smoke filling the garden. It just got better and more complex right to the end. The taste of mature mellow tobacco leaf making this one of the best cigars I have smoked for some time, right up there with the top Cohibas. Bearing in mind this is a JUN 13 box, what it would be like in a couple of years can only be imagined, if they last that long. IF you haven't got any, I would strongly recommend you get some.

A lovely trini reyes paired with a large class of jura went very well together

I am not very good at describing the various flavours etc. I hope I didn't go on too long describing the Hoyo, but I really enjoyed it.

image.jpgAll this talk about fine smokes and fine drinks.... I'm going for the RASCC that's been looking at me for a while and I'm paring it with a lovely 7 year old Cuban rum. This is the first bottle of Ron Palma Mulata I have had and I am quite enjoying it.

I will update my thoughts on the RASCC a bit later.

Edit: Ok the RASCC was bloody good! Possibly the equal of the Trini Reyes but cheaper. If the RASS is anything like this in a bigger package then it's going to be a fantastic stick!
