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.

RING GAUGE: 49
LENGTH: 7 5/8 inches - 194 mm

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.

RING GAUGE: 50
LENGTH: 4 inches - 102 mm

Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure No.3
Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure No.3
The Cigar
The Epicure No.3 is the first figurado in the classic Hoyo de Monterrey portfolio in modern times, and the first new addition since 2008. It also joins the Epicure No.1, No.2 and Epicure Especial as a category within the brand.
The classic Hoyo de Monterrey line is typified by a delicate, cedar taste that remains light enough for inexperienced smokers, while offering enough elegance and layering of flavours to keep aficionados satisfied.
The heavy ring gauge of this cigar allows the brand flavours to fully unfold, producing a supreme example of the Hoyo ‘taste’, while its tapered head slightly intensifies the smoke and sharpens the taste.
Min Ron NEE in his 2003 tome ‘An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Post-Revolution Havana Cigars’ says Hoyo de Monterrey cigars are ‘characterised by their soft, sweet style. The tobacco blend is creamy sweet, mild and aromatic’.
