Further Information about this fine Cuban Cigar

Hoyo de Monterrey owes its origin to the town of San Luis y Martinez, which lies at the heart of theVuelta Abajo tobacco region. Here the Hoyo de Monterrey plantation, can be reached through a gate on the town’s main square inscribed "Hoyo de Monterrey. José Gener. 1860’.  "Hoyo" literally means a "hole’ and in this case describes the low-lying position of the plantation on the fertile banks of San Juan y Martinez river.

José Gener, a Catalan, 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 best-known sizes are the Double Corona and the Epicure Nos. 1 and 2

This Cuban cigar line offers the signature woodiness that people refer to when talking about cigar flavor profiles. Other hints would include leather, cocoa, brown sugar, latte and others.  Strength ranges from mild to just below medium and the Double Corona is often refered to as the finest DC in the world.
