HOYO DE MONETERREY

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. 

The brand is renowned for its Double Corona and for the prestigious Epicure series, the No.1 and No.2, to which the longer Epicure Especial was added in 2008. There is also a range of vitolas known as the Le Hoyo Series. These are generally accepted to be slightly stronger and spicier than the brand’s classic range.

All sizes are ‘tripalarga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade using filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo tobacco zone.

MONTERREYS No. 4

The Hoyo de Monterrey Monterreyes No.4 joins the impressive list of previous vitolas selected to represent the brand for the prestigious Habanos Edición Limitada series. The last one was ten years ago in 2013 when the Grand Epicure was released, a cigar that still has an ardent following today and one that always attracts eye catching prices at auction.

Delayed from 2021, the Monterreyes No.4 is a Maravillas No.4 size 5 3⁄4” (145mm) x 55 ring gauge and is entirely new to the Habanos portfolio.

As with all Edición Limitadas since 2007, the tobacco used to make this cigar has been aged for a minimum of two years. This helps to create a more rounded and approachable flavour profile. The darker wrapper also provides a hint of sweetness that works exceptionally well with Hoyo de Monterrey’s distinct light flavoured blend.

These cigars are presented in a varnished Slide Lid Box of ten and have been made entirely by hand using long filler tobaccos sourced from Vuelta Abajo in the Pinar del Rio region of Cuba.

 

Tasting Notes

92 / 100 

"There’s a reddish tinge to this toro, which has a flat head, decent draw and fairly even burn. A tart note of cedar finds balance through leather, coconut, roasted chestnut and a wisp of chocolate for a chewy finish..."

Wow, well this was no normal hoyo. After reading reviews I knew it would be different. It did not disappoint. Take the band off and it was a hearty, medium to full bodied smoke with plenty of different flavours as it progressed. Slightly firm draw at first as it was packed with tobacco, however it opened up beautifully. I spent 80 minutes smoking this and enjoyed every second. It is strong though, be prepared. It had a lovely mild spice and sweetness on the lips. Only a four due to high price

Terrible. 3 cuts to stop the wrapper unravelling followed by one of the tightest draws I’ve experienced. 1st third was tasteless and felt like a lung volume test and it didn’t get much better after that. If anything it reminded me of the rubbish relatives bring back from holiday because they know you smoke cigars. I’ve been smoking Cubans for about 15 years now, (about 4 a week) and wide churchills or open eagles are my go to. If you buy for the sake of having limited editions go ahead, if you like actually smoking quality cigars don’t waste 70quid
