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.

Tasting Notes

93 / 100 

"A long, slim perfecto that looks as though it was made without a mold. Once the cigar burns beyond the tapered foot, the draw opens up to show big notes of nutmeg, candied apple and vanilla cookie. A walnut note clings to the toasty, woody finish..."

The cigar l received was unsmokable, over filled, give up after 10 minutes and went and got myself an Epicure Especial, which was 5 stars.

i got a box of these, but i smoke one as a sampler and i was so impressed thats why i bought a box. Flavors are nice quite well put toghether aroma comes outta that box is impressive draw was nice and smooth(cold draw was aromatic too), transitions were smooth and nice not pungent not sudden they do have an extra band tho saying: La Casa DeL Habano and they are called Elegantes...so i think they stand to the name in my book.

I bought a couple of these in Shepherd Market and left them in one of my humidors amd forgot all about them. A few months later I took one to my club and smoked it on the terrace. A slight bore to get going, but it burned besutifully and opened out very well indeed. A perfect afternoon smoke.

Typical hoyo taste with woody notes and hints of spice to. As I went on the spice builds and light nutty notes start to come through. The draw and burn was flawless. Not overly complex but a very good light smoke.
