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

It lacks the strength of the Cohibas, but it is superior to the Upmanns. Mild flavours at first, blended nicely into a complex finish. Excellent smoke!

92 / 100

"...Floral and nutty, this well-made cigar also shows notes of leather and toasted almond before a sweet, honeyed finish. Elegant and balanced..."

This cigar was my first true love as a newbie herfer, way back at the turn of the millennium. Over the years I have smoked many fine cigars and some considerably stronger. However I always come back to the Epi 2 a few times a year and I rekindle that flame I had all those years ago. This afternoon’s one has been in the humidor for a year or so, having been supplied by CGars it is in perfect condition. As always the quality of construction is excellent and a year in the humidor has only added to the subtle complexity of this wonderful cigar. I can’t say enough about how good this cigar is, so I’m not going to, but I urge anyone who hasn’t tried one to buy one now!

Great smoke! Great construction, amazing burn. Typical Hoyo smoothness with subtle flavours that get a little stronger and more complex in the 2nd third. Possibly a bit weak for anyone who likes a strong smoke, but for fans of creamy smoothness I highly recommend them.

This is the most fantastic smoke. So smooth and creamy all i had in my mouth was just cream and vanilla and chocolate. Was incredible. Do yourselves a favour and buy a few of these. Take some time and enjoy ..what a smoke! Also given to a friend as a wedding gift and he isnt a cigar smoker and absolutely loved it. We sat and enjoyed for a good hour

Nice enough, plenty of rich tea biscuit. Bit one dimensional for me, burned quite hot and dry. Would happily accept one if offered but plenty of better places to spend ones cigar fund. Perhaps miss this one and go straight to an aged HDM
