Review #123: I usually love medium-full bodied smokes, but when not in that mood this is the first cigar that comes to mind. The review above has it just right ... complexity can be packed into a mild/medium smoke. The great blend of floral/honey/fruit/cocoa flavors is very unique to the Epicure 2. The fragrance of this smoke sets itself as well, only being rivaled by the bouquet from Cohiba's. With around 3 years, these seem to be ready to go. - Submitted by fabio on October 28, 2007
Review #122:  HdM Epicure No.2 is my favorite mild cigars in humidor at the moment which I smoke mostly after lunch. This one is coming from cab GKI SEP 03 bought at Madrid Airport. From the beginning started with aromatic flavors, with well mature woody taste and full character. In the middle displayed some strength which kept smoking interesting and in last part became a bit dry but very well balanced and smooth. Little uneven burn was corrected automatically. Altogether this was another unforgettable smoke. IMO Epi No.2 along with Double Corona represents the very best of HdM line. - Submitted by Diademo on October 19, 2007
Review #121: Received one of those as a gift and smoked it right away. Before setting it on fire, the construction is perfect. The wrapper is nice and smells of spice. After cutting, the pre lit draw was smooth and easy as well as the beautiful pre lit aroma.
Setting this cigar on fire is another story. The cigar reeks of flavor. Lots of smoke, easy perfect draw and a very aromatic smell for the drawing end. Perfect cigar all in all. One of my favorites. - Submitted by Lucky Break on October 14, 2007
Review #120: Hoyo robustos (this one and Petit Robusto) have some characteristics in common, this is no surprise. Both have a smooth silky claro wrapper with reddish shades and a very subtle flavour before lighting up. The beginning of this Epicure is even more intense than the Petit Robusto, with less honey taste and more woody notes, but the leaf composition must be very similar. My memory can fail, but I remember this cigar to be in cabinets without anilla an darker both in appearance and in taste. The last two I bought were from a recent cabinet and they have the anilla. But maybe I remember wrong.
This one is good though a little monotone (but robustos don't evolve like double corona anyway)and show some burning problem, all probably due to the young age; if you buy a cabinet be prepared to let them sit for quite a while to taste their full potential. - Submitted by sasha on October 13, 2007
Review #119: This is the cigar that started my love affair with robustos, and although I've since waned in enthusiasm for the size, this cigar might rekindle my love for it. Great draw, nice mild flavours, and decent development, all put this in the realm of a great smoke. Started out nutty and creamy, then on to grassy flavours, with hints of fruit, finally ending with traditional Cuban power. There's better, but this is a worthy smoke anyway. - Submitted by agraupe on August 21, 2007
