Team Cigar Review: Hoyo de Monterrey The Illusione of Excalibur No. 1

Going into the review of the Hoyo de Monterrey The Illusione of Excalibur No. 1 was a bit intimidating given it's large size and ring gauge.

The first third and the second thirds were the most engaging, with the last third being pleasant, but not quite as complex as the rest of the cigar.

The Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur Black Toro performed like a number of cigars that I've smoked from General where the flavor profile seems a bit stale and the tobacco seems dull.

There, they blended an Ecuadoran Sumatra binder with an exceptional combination of spicy Honduran and Nicaraguan ligero tobaccos.
