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.
An easy draw and relaxing smoke, spicy, medium strong flavours but not too much pepper. A well enjoyed smoke.

"...Covered in a matte natural wrapper, this corona draws well, delivering sweet wood and earth flavours that are balanced out with sweet cocoa notes. A pleasant, medium-bodied cigar..."
Hi, I am terribly sorry you were not 100% satisfied with your cigar, I can assure you though that it would not have been mould though. The likelihood is that what you were seeing was in fact plume, quite harmless and shows that the cigar is aging well. If you ever receive a cigar you are not 100% happy about, we do offer a no quibble return policy, simply pop it back in the post and we will exchange it for you no problem. If you need any help or information, please contact me on [email protected]. Kind regards, James - C.Gars Ltd
