"a swell find"

I found this cigar to be quite the nice surprise, as I had previously sampled only the Merlin Excalibur, and I found this to be a superior cigar in my opinion. Easy draw, decent burn, and mild taste makes it an instant favorite for me.

"Creamy to the max!"

If you like mild, creamy, smooth cigars then this is the one. Tons of smoke and easy pull. Great for new smokers and those looking for a cigar that wont pollute your senses for hours afterwards.

"Top quality, but a bit mild for my taste"

I've found Hoyo de Monterrey to be one of the most reliable brands. The Epicure seems like a younger, milder version of the house Robusto, which I love, except the initial taste was jalapeno--a pleasant surprise--but this faded quickly. The complex, peanutty flavor, with floral and coffee undertones, dominated. The other qualities (draw, burn, etc.) were very good. I will probably smoke another, sometime, but I still prefer the fuller bodied Hoyo de Monterrey Robusto.

"Great Golfing Cigar"

FSS recommends these for the golf course and I can see why. They are nice tasting but not so complex that you will want to contemplate your cigar instead of concentrating on your swing. The construction is excellent and burns evenly with a nice, white ash. I find that it burns down relatively quickly, probably because being a lighter cigar, I draw deeper and more often. So, when I order a box, it will be the Churchill size.

"Great overall"

This cigar draws and burns excellent, does not bitter up at any time and remains lit perfectly. It keeps a well balanced semi strong flavor. It was the perfect companion of some cognac. Excellent choice quality vs price.

"Lighter in flavor?"

No, the Epicure was really bitter. I had to put it out and get a good maduro to rid my mouth of the horrible taste.

"Great Mild Cigar"

I got this as one of the cigars in the Famous Super Premium Sampler. It's been in the humidor for a couple of months and I got around to trying it today. I found it to be an incredibly tasty mild smoke. It burned well, drew effortlessly and the ash was white and tight. The price is right and I'll be buying more of these.

"My favorite cigar to this date..."

The Excalibur Epicure is extremely smooth and creamy. Not bitter nor harsh, burns well and finishes completely tasty. This is my favorite cigar and, up to this point, the best cigar I've had. I know everyone has different tastes in cigars, but you should try one of these beauties. The nice taste lingers in your mouth for hours after smoking. Ok, I'll stop now. Try one for yourself. I am buying some for my sister's wedding in July, but I may be stingy and not share.

"Solid, mild & spicey, but bad finish"

The Epicure starts mild with faint peppery taste, peppery taste builds a bit and then the filler flavor thickens until it is mostly just smokey and uninteresting, with no spice and nothing to replace it. Impeccable construction, perfect draw, excellent ash, beautiful solid cigar, no doubt. Not as strong as the Hoyo de Monterrey, but not very interesting after the first 1 ½ inch. I'm going back to Padron 3000. If you like the spicey flavor, try La Fontana Galileo, which finishes much better.

"Excalibur Epicure"

This is an exceptionly great cigar. Taste, burn, construction it's all there. I would recommed this as a must try. You won't be disappointed.
