Hoyo De Monterrey

Hoyo De Monterrey Epicures No.2

The Cigar

The robusto of choice for many cigar epicureans. Formerly presented without any band, now it sports no less than two, so its identity is clear. One of the most classic cigars for any type of smokers.

Hoyo de Monterrey Rio Seco

The Cigar

Le Hoyo de Rio Seco is the second recent introduction to the "le Hoyo Series", following the 2015 release of Le Hoyo de San Juan. These cigars only use Seco and Ligero leaves grown in San Juan y Martinez, a small town in Vuelta Abajo, a world-famous tobacco growing zone in Cuba

Hoyo De Monterrey Double Coronas

The Cigar

A mighty cigar with a surprisingly subtle and creamy flavour. It rocketed to stardom when the second issue of Cigar Aficionado rated a late ‘80s example 99 out of 100. Still a cigar to be reckoned with.

Hoyo De Monterrey De San Juan

The Cigar

Hoyo de Monterrey is by far the most popular brand within the light flavour category outlined by Habanos S. A. The Le Hoyo series is typified by a delicate, cedar taste with a hint of white pepper and cream, that remains light enough for inexperienced smokers, while offering enough elegance and layering of flavours to keep aficionados satisfied.

This new cigar displays all of these classic characteristics but, with a 54 ring gauge, does so within a very modern format. Most agree that, although it is displaying a great deal of subtlety, finesse and delicacy already, it also has wonderful ageing potential for the medium to long term.

A most welcome addition to the Hoyo family.

Hoyo De Monterrey Petit Robustos

The Cigar

Perhaps this cigar would have been better named Epicure No.3 as its presentation and style of taste are identical to the Epicure 1 & 2. Introduced in 2004, it was a timely anticipation of what smokers would face with smoking bans.

Hoyo Epicure De luxe LCDH is part of one of the most historic brands with light flavours, aromatic and elegance. An attractive choice for the aficionado.

Hoyo de Monterrey Escogidos LCDH

The Cigar

Hoyo de Monterrey Escogidos LCDH was selected by Habanos S.A. to be commercialised in 2018 through the La Casa Del Habano. An exquisite cigar from Pinar del Rio.

The cigars which is Spanish for selected. It’s a 7 1/11 (180mm) x 49 double corona, though about a half inch shorter than the actual Hoyo de Monterrey Double Coronas. Like the rest of the LCDH releases, it features a maroon secondary band that has the LCDH logo.

Hoyo de Monterrey Elegantes LCDH

The Cigar

The Hoyo de Monterrey Elegantes is covered in a cinnamon brown wrapper that features a bit of tooth as well as a significant amount of oil. The cigar is quite spongy when squeezed, and there are multiple veins running up and down the length. Aroma from the wrapper is a combination of strong barnyard, manure, grass, cedar and leather, while the cold draw brings flavors of creamy oak, almonds, cinnamon, leather and a touch of citrus.

Hoyo de Monterrey Elegantes LCDH is a unique cigar that is delicate, aromatic, and complex in taste. An attractive choice for the cigar aficionado.

Length: 6 1/4"

Ring Gauge: 47

Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure Especial

The Cigar

Introduced as the top of the Epicure line in 2008, this extralength robusto delivers the classic light-flavoured elegance of the Epicure No.2 for an additional five eighths of an inch.

The Cigar

We can find here a typical "Le Hoyo" taste, woody above all. This cigar, being small and thin as it is, is perfect for beginners, easy to smoke and with quick combustion. Strongly recommended for those who do not have much time and want about 25 minutes of smoking pleasure.

The flavour of Hoyo de Monterrey’s blend makes it an attractive choice for those who seek a delicate yet aromatic Havana that is lighter to the taste but with great elegance and complexity.

Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure No.3

The Cigar

Hoyo De Monterrey Epicures No.1

The Cigar

A long standing favourite amongst the admirers of this classic, heavyish gauge size. Lighter tasting than the Punch Punch or Cohiba Siglo IV, but plenty of fragrant complexity nonetheless.

The Cigar

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.

The Hoyo de Monterrey Primavera celebrates the 2021 Chinese New Year and is available in very limited quantities. It is only the second time a cigar has been released by Habanos s.a. to commemorate the festivities and follows the popular Romeo y Julieta Maravillas 8 in 2020 (Year of the Rat).

Each of the 18 cigars presented in the stunning commemorative wooden lacquered boxes are dressed with a unique foot band which are branded “Year of the Ox”. The cigars measure
6 5/8” (167mm) x 48 ring gauge and the size is referred to as a Hermosos No.1 in the factories of Cuba. Only 8,888 numbered boxes will be produced for global release by Habanos s.a.

Hoyo de Monterrey is a light bodied Habanos brand named after a plantation in San Juan y Martínez in the heart of Vuelta Abajo. It remains one of the most famous Vegas de Primera to this day (first class tobacco fields) where somewhat fittingly for this cigar is still ploughed by oxen to this day so as not to compact the top-soil.

Hoyo De Monterrey Double Coronas 1998.

The Cigar

The brand produce one of the finest double coronas available in the market, for that reason having the chance to taste a cigar from 1998 is an opportunity not be missed for any cigar smoker ideally after dinner.

Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure No. 2 Reserva 2012 (Released in 2016)

The Cigar

Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure No. 2 Reserva 2012 is a beautiful cigar release in 2016.

The cigar chose to sport the black and silver band on the Epicure No.2 vitola. The Reserva Series featuring that black and silver band only uses tobaccos that have been aged a minimum of three years, with this particular release using tobaccos from 2012 which has allowed more powerful flavours.
