New WorldEverydayHoyo de Monterrey Excalibur No. II
A slightly trimmer Excalibur — a 6.75 x 47 Honduran toro with the line's signature creamy, cedar-aged smoothness in a more manageable size.
The Excalibur No. II is the No. I's slightly slimmer, shorter sibling — a 6.75 x 47 toro from Hoyo de Monterrey's Honduran Excalibur line. It carries the same golden Connecticut Shade wrapper and the same Honduran-Nicaraguan-Dominican blend, in a format that's a touch easier to fit into an evening.
What it tastes like
Expect the classic Excalibur profile: creamy cedar, nuts, coffee, and gentle earth and spice, all delivered smoothly thanks to cedar aging. It's a balanced medium with a luxuriously long, creamy finish and the dependable construction the line is known for. Plan on roughly an hour.
Who it's for
A great everyday smoke for fans of refined, well-mannered Hondurans, and an easy recommendation for someone moving up from milder cigars. Remember this is the non-Cuban Hoyo. If you prefer the bigger format, the Excalibur No. I is the full Churchill. To compare wrapper styles, see Maduro vs Connecticut.
