Hoyo Epicure Selección

Wearing the Epicure name, Epicure Selección is unmistakably Honduran in leaf and attitude: wrapper, binder and filler are Honduran, with the binder and filler listed as Honduran Habano. Released in 2020 as a three‑size regular production, the line trades the brighter Cuban echoes for darker, oilier wrappers and a more savory profile.

On the palate the cigar leans medium‑to‑medium‑full. Primary notes run to earth, toasted grain and walnut with baking‑spice highlights and an amaretto‑like sweetness on the finish. Peppery accents and a grainy, toasty backbone show up through the midsection, occasionally joined by cream or cocoa; the impression overall is more savory than sugary, with intermittent sweet echoes.

Construction and burn are strengths—steady draw, even combustion and a direct, uncomplicated flavor progression rather than flamboyant complexity. What sets this Selección apart is its Honduran reinterpretation of the Epicure motif: darker wrappers, Cuban‑seed agriculture grown in Honduras, and a flavor set that favors toasted grain, nuts and savory earth. Offered as a value‑priced regular production, it’s a dependable cigar for smokers who want a fuller Honduran signature while still nodding to the Epicure lineage.
