Hoyo de Monterrey

Hoyo de Monterrey cigars offer exceptional balance, smooth character, and refined complexity that has delighted cigar enthusiasts since 1865. Founded by José Gener, the brand takes its name from a famous tobacco plantation in Cuba’s San Juan y Martínez region, considered one of the finest tobacco-growing areas in the legendary Vuelta Abajo valley. This connection to premium tobacco sources has defined Hoyo de Monterrey’s commitment to quality for over 150 years. Hoyo de Monterrey cigars are known for their medium strength and elegant flavor profiles, making them ideal for smokers who appreciate subtlety and refinement over raw power. The brand utilizes select Cuban tobaccos to create cigars with delicate notes of cedar, cream, nuts, light spices, and a gentle sweetness. This approachable character makes Hoyo de Monterrey excellent for morning or afternoon smoking, and perfect for those developing their cigar palate. Ring gauges typically range from 42 to 54 across numerous classic Cuban formats. The Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 (robusto, 50 ring gauge) stands as the brand’s flagship cigar, consistently praised for its perfect balance and smooth smoking characteristics. The Double Corona (49 ring gauge) offers extended enjoyment for leisurely occasions, while the Le Hoyo de San Juan provides refined flavor in a smaller format. Hoyo de Monterrey represents timeless Cuban cigar tradition with accessible elegance.
