Where is the cheapest place to buy Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 in Europe right now?

The cheapest verified box of Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 in Europe right now is at Noblego in Germany at approximately €500 for a box of 25 (about €20.00 per cigar). The full ranking — refreshed every six hours across 4 European retailers — is in the table above.

Prices and availability shift weekly. Save this SKU to your watchlist with the Save price alert button to get an email the moment any retailer in your country drops below your target price.

Will the listed price include duty + VAT for my country?

The Duty / Ships column above tells you exactly that. Each retailer listed price is all-in (excise duty + VAT included) only in their home country. Buy from a German retailer as a German buyer: what you see is what you pay. Buy cross-border (e.g. a Swiss retailer shipping to Germany, or any EU retailer shipping to the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, or Ireland) and the destination country will charge its own tobacco excise + VAT at the door — typically €100–€300 extra on a box of 25 Habanos, sometimes much more for the UK.

If you set your destination country on the page, every row that is genuinely all-in for you gets highlighted in green. The dimmed rows are honest-looking prices that will cost more than they show.

How does Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 compare to other Hoyo de Monterrey cigars?

Hoyo de Monterrey's Epicure No. 2 occupies a specific seat in the Habanos catalogue: the same 5×50 robusto format as a Cohiba Robustos or Partagás Serie D No. 4, but built around Hoyo's distinctively lighter, sweeter blend. Where the Partagás opens with pepper and the Cohiba leads with cocoa, the Epicure No. 2 starts with hay and honey, drifts into a creamy almond middle, and finishes on a long cedar-and-toast note. It's the robusto most often suggested as a daytime or 'before lunch' Cuban — full enough to be interesting, light enough not to overwhelm a meal.

If you want a side-by-side comparison of Hoyo de Monterrey other vitolas at current European prices, the SKUs we track are: Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial, Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de Río Seco. Each link opens its own live price-comparison page.

Is the price for Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 likely to drop?

Habanos S.A. (the Cuban state tobacco monopoly) sets the worldwide release-price floor for every Habano in this catalogue. That floor went up roughly 40% during the 2022–2024 global price harmonisation, and Habanos has signalled further annual increases through 2027. So the long-term trend is up, not down.

Short-term, prices fluctuate at the retailer level — Swiss promotional weeks, German LCDH clearance, the occasional Spanish over-stock. The Finder catches those. A drop alert with no target price will email you on any meaningful reduction; setting a target locks the alert to your specific budget.

From the tasting notes

Hoyo de Monterrey's Epicure No. 2 occupies a specific seat in the Habanos catalogue: the same 5×50 robusto format as a Cohiba Robustos or Partagás Serie D No. 4, but built around Hoyo's distinctively lighter, sweeter blend. Where the Partagás opens with pepper and the Cohiba leads with cocoa, the Epicure No. 2 starts with hay and honey, drifts into a creamy almond middle, and finishes on a long cedar-and-toast note. It's the robusto most often suggested as a daytime or 'before lunch' Cuban — full enough to be interesting, light enough not to overwhelm a meal.

The Epicure No. 2 has unusually flat price spread across European retailers, which suggests Hoyo's modest demand profile relative to Cohiba and Partagás. Germany's Noblego runs €499 per box of 25; the UK's Turmeaus sits around £445 (~€530); Switzerland's Cigarmust CHF 590 (~€620); the Netherlands' Hajenius €525. The €120 absolute spread between cheapest and dearest is moderate; what makes this SKU worth comparing is the surprisingly consistent in-stock availability, which is rare in the post-2024 Cuban-cigar allocation environment.
