Storage Instructions
For the H.MONTERREY EPICURE N.2 (25) store your cigars in a well maintained humidor to preserve flavor and burn quality. Aim for a relative humidity between 65% and 70% and a temperature around 68ºF (20ºC). If you keep the boxed set inside the humidor leave the box closed to maintain a stable micro environment. Season and calibrate your humidor before adding cigars and monitor conditions with a reliable hygrometer. If the H.MONTERREY EPICURE N.2 (25) includes thinner or lighter colored wrappers consider keeping humidity at the lower end of the range, while fuller bodied or darker wrappers can tolerate the upper range more comfortably. Avoid rapid temperature swings and do not store cigars in a refrigerator or freezer.
Care Tips
Handle the H.MONTERREY EPICURE N.2 (25) by the foot or gently by the band to protect the wrapper from oils and abrasion. When you first receive a shipment allow the cigars to acclimate in your humidor for one to two weeks before smoking to let flavors settle and any transport stress dissipate. Rotate boxes or trays periodically to ensure even humidity exposure. For longer term aging the boxed set will develop greater complexity over six months to several years depending on your taste, with more pronounced changes in spice and sweetness over time. When ready to smoke cut with a sharp cutter or use a punch and toast the foot gently to preserve the draw and wrapper integrity.

Tasting Notes
The H.MONTERREY EPICURE N.2 (25) presents a refined medium-to-full body that unfolds with layered complexity from the first draw. Expect an earthy backbone of cedar and rich leather, intertwined with espresso roast, dark cocoa and a hint of toasted almond; a discreet pepper spice emerges on the retrohale to enliven the profile. Creamy smoke cushions the palate between puffs, allowing subtle sweetness—maple syrup and dried fruit—to balance the savory notes. Aromas of warm tobacco, baking spice and oak linger on the finish, offering a long, satisfying close that evolves throughout the smoke.
Pairing Suggestions
Aged añejo rum, its caramel, molasses and oak notes echo the cigar’s dark chocolate and cedar character, smoothing the spice; Ristretto or Italian espresso, concentrated coffee intensifies the espresso and cocoa tones while cutting through the cigar’s richness for a balanced contrast; 70% dark chocolate or a small plate of roasted nuts, bittersweet chocolate and toasted nuts mirror the cigar’s almond and cocoa nuances and heighten the smoke’s natural sweetness.
