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!

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

Rather disappointed with this Cigar having smoked the number 1. Had it sitting in the Humidor for a month, starting to unravel after the cut it seemed Quite a nice smoke then it seemed to bubble up and just Fell apart Disappointed to say the least as was really looking forward to this.

the ultimate all round cigar - great for both a relaxing medium length smoke or a shorter one. fine draw from start to finish, mild and mellow but not weak I feel this is a far superior smoke to the epicure no1

New to the cigar word so I thought IÂ’d begin mild and work my way up slowly. The construction of the cigar was great. It had a tight ash which held for around an inch and a half. It did need a few touch ups but never needed to be relit. The construction was flawless. No real pepper on the retro till the final third. Notes of general nuttiness and cedar with some complexity towards the end of the cigar. A really enjoyable smoke I would recommend.

Excellent cigar. Creamy, Nutty notes with a perfect burn and perfect draw.

A nice experience, draw was good producing lots of creamy smoke, but burn was a bit uneven and needed touching up a bit, but still produced a long strong ash. Flavours were sweet and nutty and with a little pepper. It burnt slowly and lasted over an hour and fifteen.
