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..."

This cigar is never going to put hairs on your chest, that’s for sure. A very mild smoke, which will suite the American market, I’m sure. Having reached about no. 10 of my box, I must say that the consistency is more than satisfactory. Draw.... 9 Construction... 8. Some , but very few touch ups. Favour..8.....Very mild throughout. Some complexity in the final third. There are other great cigars out there which give more bangs for buck, Try Ramon Allones specially selected , Bolivar Royal coronas or Partagas Series D No.4 Overall, a pleasant smoke with consistency. Final thought. You have to buy a box to determine how good a cigar actually is. One off purchases tell you nothing . Cuban cigars are great when you can ascertain the quality in a box. This requires patience and a deep pocket.

When you get a good one this is as good a cigar experience as you could care to have. A very fine 30-45 minutes of sheer pleasure with flavour that never gets too hot or harsh however hard you draw. However as other reviewers have stated you have accept the fact that there is a chance that your cigar might be plugged. Personally i have found that about one in five are hard to draw and have lighting issues. Usually these are resolved to some degree by rolling the cigar in your hands to loosen it up a bit. When you get a good one however there are few things finer. This is a cigar which I do not find the need to pair with any drink as the flavours on their own are wonderful enough.
