Every Hoyo de Monterrey Piramides Edicion Limitada 2003 is guaranteed 100% authentic, sourced directly from Habanos S.A. with the official seal and full traceability from Vuelta Abajo to your door.
The Hoyo de Monterrey Piramides Edicion Limitada 2003 belongs to one of Cuba’s most historic marques, a house long celebrated for its lighter, elegant style of smoking. This release formed part of the Habanos Edicion Limitada programme of 2003, a series defined by the use of darker wrappers selected from the upper leaves of the tobacco plant and aged for roughly two years before rolling. That extra maturation, paired with the tapered piramide shape, set the cigar apart from the brand’s standard line and turned it into a genuine collector’s piece. Measuring 156 mm (6.1 inches) with a 52 ring gauge at its widest point, it carries the figurado profile that connoisseurs prize for its evolving draw.
The opening third tends to be smooth and gently spiced, with cedar and a soft creaminess settling on the palate early on. As the burn moves into the middle, the smoke gathers a little more weight, bringing forward notes of wood, coffee and a quiet earthiness that reflects the aged wrapper. The final third builds in depth without ever tipping into harshness, finishing with a balanced, slightly nutty character that rewards an unhurried pace. The tapered head concentrates the smoke beautifully, so the experience shifts subtly from the first light to the last inch.
As a limited edition built around already matured tobacco, this Piramides continues to reward patient cellaring. Keep it in a well seasoned humidor held close to 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and around 18 degrees Celsius, away from light and strong odours. Boxes laid down for several years tend to soften the spice further and deepen the sweeter, woody tones. Because the figurado shape has a delicate tapered head, handle each cigar gently and check your humidification regularly to protect the wrapper.
This cigar suits the collector and the seasoned aficionado who appreciates the character of a discontinued Habanos limited edition. The Mild to Medium body makes it approachable for those who do not always reach for the strongest smokes, while the tapered piramide format and aged construction give experienced palates plenty to study. It is equally at home as a quiet personal treat or as the centrepiece of a special occasion among fellow enthusiasts.

Decent cigar but not my favorite from Hoyo de Monterrey. The Hoyo de Monterrey Piramides Edicion Limitada 2003 has good flavor - mild spice and earth - but didn't wow me like other Cubans I've had. Construction was fine, burn was mostly even. It's good, just not exceptional. Worth trying though.
