Explore Hoyo de Monterrey
Every Hoyo de Monterrey Short Hoyo Piramides 2011 LE is guaranteed 100% authentic, sourced directly from Habanos S.A. with the official seal and full traceability from Vuelta Abajo to your door.
Hoyo de Monterrey has built its reputation on delicate, aromatic Habanos, and this release distills that house character into a tapered figurado. The Short Hoyo Piramides arrived as part of the 2011 Edicion Limitada program, a series reserved for cigars rolled with leaves aged a minimum of two years before they ever reach the rolling table. Crafted Totalmente a Mano, Tripa Larga (totally by hand, long filler) by experienced rollers, this petit pyramid carries the maduro-toned wrapper typical of the line and a compact format that makes its complexity unusually accessible.
The opening third leans toasty and bright, with early notes that recall a salty pretzel before settling into warm cedar and a thread of honeyed sweetness. As the burn moves into the middle, the smoke turns drier and woodier, picking up cinnamon, a touch of cream, and a measured pepper that keeps things lively without tipping into harshness. The final third gains depth, adding earthy and grilled, savory tones alongside coffee and a clean, gently spiced finish that confirms why this vitola earned a loyal following.
Because every cigar in this Edicion Limitada was already matured before release, the blend smokes beautifully young, yet it also rewards patience. Kept at roughly 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and around 18 degrees Celsius, the spice settles and the sweeter cedar and cream notes grow rounder over a few years in the box. A well seasoned humidor and a reliable hygrometer are all you need to coax this figurado toward its mellow, integrated peak.
This is a smoke for the cigar lover who values finesse over force. Its medium body and forgiving size make it a fine introduction to limited-edition Habanos, while the layered, evolving profile gives seasoned aficionados plenty to study. If you appreciate Hoyo de Monterrey’s signature elegance but want it in a tapered, collectible format, the Short Hoyo Piramides belongs in your rotation.
