Hoyo de Monterrey Cigars

The gates to this historic plantation still read: “Hoyo de Monterrey. Jose Gener. 1860.” After Don Gener’s death in 1900, the brand stayed in the family for three decades before being sold to Fernández, Palicio y Cía - owners of Punch cigars. By 1958, Hoyo de Monterrey had become one of the top Havana exports worldwide.
