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 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’.

Hoyo De Monterrey Churchill Vintage 1999
Originating from the town of San Juan y Martinez in the Vuelta Abajo zone, Hoyo de Monterrey traces its roots to the renowned Vegas de Primera plantation. Accessible through a gate inscribed "Hoyo de Monterrey. Jose Gener. 1960." on the main square, this plantation is situated in a low-lying position along the San Juan y Martinez river, as indicated by the term "Hoyo," meaning "hole."
Founded by Jose Gener, a Spaniard from Tarragona, in 1865, the Hoyo de Monterrey brand carries the legacy of its vega's name. The blend of Hoyo de Monterrey is known for its delicate yet aromatic profile, offering a lighter taste with remarkable elegance and complexity, making it an appealing choice for aficionados.
