Hoyo de Monterrey owes its origin to the town of San Juan y Martinez, which lies at the heart of the Vuelta Abajo zone. Here the Hoyo de Monterrey plantation, one of the great Vegas de Primera, can be reached through a gate on the town's main square inscribed "Hoyo de Monterrey. Jose Gener. 1960."

"Hoyo" literally means "hole" and in this case describes the low-lying position of the plantation on the fertile banks of San Juan y Martinez river.  Jose Gener, a Spaniard from Tarragona, first used the name of his vega on a brand of Habanos in 1865. 

The flavour of Hoyo de Monterrey's blend makes it an attractive choice for those who seek a delicate yet aromatic Habano that is lighter to the taste but with great elegance and complexity. 

Hoyo de Monterrey was the first brand to introduce a Petit Robusto in 2005, the 50 ring gauge size with a shorter length to suit those who like thicker formats, but do not always have the time to enjoy them.

Tasting Notes

Excellent, oily, robust and with powerful flavour and aroma. This is a great smoke. The draw, burn and taste are very good.

----

90 / 100

"...This large double corona is made with a three-seam cap and tawny wrapper. The draw is firm but still imparts a nutty, floral smoke that develops notes of toffee and baking spices..."

Really nice, long smoke. Started it in the afternoon with a coffee. It was very smooth and mild, not too much smoke, very creamy almost. Put it out after an hour with just under two thirds remaining. Sparked it up again later that evening and it matured very nicely with a touch more spicyness and earthy notes. Highly recommended as a good two and a half hour smoke! written by David M Smith

When these are on, theyre on. Earthy, leathery and slightly spicy medium bodied smokes. The draw can be tight as with most longer Havanas and unfortunately these have a history of occasionally being plugged. However, if you get one thats not youve got a jewel of a smoke. written by The Mantis

I agree with mmeadows and Dov. I have had these aged well and they were strong and creamy, without the harshe bite. I have had some young and they were not very enjoyable. Another risk is that they are plugged and end up being tossed. Be finicky when you pick them, unless you get them from this site. (they are good at picking smokable sticks) written by Max

Dont short yourself by smoking one young. These are quite complex and benefit greatly to aging. They take full advantage of the size. written by mmeadows

A well made prominente that can feature a wonderful palette of flavors on a base of very light strength. written by ca
