Hoyo De Monterrey
Escogidos Lcdh Single Cigar
First Third: The cigar opens with an elegant, incredibly smooth, and creamy Cuban greeting. Dominant notes of roasted walnuts, aged cedar timber, and sweet topsoil earthiness cover the tongue. The early retrohale is completely rounded, leaving a subtle trace of floral sweetness on the palate with zero sharp pepper bite.
Second Third: Moving into the main section of the elongated Pacos barrel, sweeter and deeper traits take center stage. The profile turns noticeably more unctuous, introducing luxurious layers of dark caramel, rich milk chocolate, and an oatmeal raisin cookie sweetness, perfectly balancing the underlying wood notes.
Final Third: The conclusion scales up seamlessly into a fragrant, deeply satisfying medium body. The sweeter elements subtly ease back as core traits of dry oak wood, refined leather, and a closing wave of warming baking spices (nutmeg and cinnamon) take the lead, finishing exceptionally long and clean.
