Hoyo de Monterrey's Excalibur cigars are something special - they only contain the top 10% of the premium long leaf tobacco grown in Honduras, Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. The perfectly constructed Excalibur No. 1 is the most popular size of this legendary line, made by the finest Honduran artisans. With paired Connecticut Shade and Connecticut Broadleaf to temper the hearty blend of Honduran, Nicaraguan, and Dominican filler, there's still plenty of complexity and kick to satisfy even the most jaded of aficionado. Packed in a Stay-Fresh pouch with a Boveda humidifier, it's a great sampler to grab when you're on the go. And what better stick to take than the Excalibur? It's a cigar that earned a spot on Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 list the first year it debuted... and called "one of the finest Hondurans". This smooth, rich, legend of a smoke is fit for a king, and deserves a top spot in your humidor. The Excalibur No. 1 Fresh Pack Sampler Includes: 2 x Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur No. 1 Natural (7 1/4" x 54, ●●●○○ Medium) The Natural offers a Connecticut Shade wrapper and Connecticut Broadleaf binder that create a solid canvas upon which to paint the leather and espresso that are on display as soon as the cigar is lit. The second third of the stick swirls in a honeycomb sweetness to excite the tongue while at the same time preparing it for the rush of nutmeg and allspice that is layered into the foreground as the nub is approached. This medium-bodied stick finishes with a hint of spice that can be enjoyed by any smoker who prefers a classic tobacco taste, and will definitely have you coming back for more. 2 x Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur No. 1 Maduro (7 1/4" x 54, ●●●○○ Medium) The Connecticut Broadleaf wrapped Maduro offers a flavor which is rich with cocoa and coffee, yet at the same time tangy and sweet.
