The story behind Hoyo de Monterrey
Hoyo de Monterrey is one of Cuba's most storied marcas — every cigar hand-rolled in Havana from sun-grown Vuelta Abajo leaf, aged and crafted by master torcedores under the official Habanos S.A. seal.
It's not just a cigar. It's an experience reserved for the true connoisseur.
Every Hoyo de Monterrey Double Coronas is guaranteed 100% authentic, sourced directly from Habanos S.A. with the official seal and full traceability from Vuelta Abajo to your door.
Few cigars carry the reputation of the Hoyo de Monterrey Double Coronas. The marca traces its roots to 1865, when José Gener established the brand on the slopes of the legendary Vuelta Abajo region, and that long pedigree shows in the refinement of this format. Measuring 194mm with a 49 ring gauge, it is one of the grand classic shapes of the Habanos portfolio, prized by connoisseurs for its measured pace and elegant balance rather than brute power.
Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third leans gentle and creamy, with soft almond and a light dusting of cocoa carried on smooth, generous smoke. As the cigar settles into its middle section, earthier tones emerge alongside a warm thread of cinnamon spice and a faint sweetness reminiscent of caramel. The final third gains depth and a touch more intensity, the honeyed finish lingering while the body firms up toward the medium end of the scale. Construction is typically flawless, rewarding patience over the full burn.
Pairings
An aged Cuban rum, whose molasses sweetness echoes the cigar’s caramel and honey notes.
A lightly peated single malt Scotch for those who enjoy a subtle smoky counterpoint.
A strong black espresso or cortado to lift the cocoa and almond character.
Aging and storage
This is a cigar that repays cellaring. Kept in a well seasoned humidor held around 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and roughly 18 degrees Celsius, the Double Coronas mellows beautifully over several years, with the spice rounding off and the creamy sweetness deepening. The thicker ring gauge and long filler give it plenty of leaf to evolve, so a box laid down with patience often drinks far better than a freshly arrived stick.
Who it is for
The Double Coronas suits the smoker who values length and subtlety over sheer strength. If you can spare ninety minutes to two hours and prefer a refined, gradually building experience, this format is a natural fit. Newer enthusiasts will appreciate its approachable Mild to Medium body, while seasoned aficionados return to it for its heritage and the slow reveal of its flavors.

Excellent corona from Hoyo de Monterrey. The Hoyo de Monterrey Double Coronas has a refined flavor profile – lots of caramel and tobacco. Draw was perfect and it burned for about 82 minutes. Only minor complaint is it’s slightly strong for my taste, but overall a great smoke.
