Smoking a Le Hoyo de Río Seco
This cigar comes with an almost seamless Colorado Claro wrapper and a well-applied triple cap. The veining is minimal, and the wrapper has a delicate oily sheen that gives the cigar an elegant appearance.
It takes a little effort to get this massive cigar lit, but it has almost no combustion issues throughout the smoke’s length. The cold draw has herbal and vegetal notes, but when finally lit, it produces greyish-blue smoke clouds with a smooth creaminess distinctive of the Hoyo de Monterrey brand.
The first third offers mahogany and notes of damp cedar, plus green herb aromas of cilantro and parsley. Sweet spices join the melange in the second third and the intensity ramps up in the final third, notably with roast almonds.
Cigar Value
This young cigar needs aging in order to develop its herbal notes and prevent them from coming across too grassy. After a few years in the humidor your palate will thank you, and you get a substantial return on your investment.

This Robusto Extra has a substantial 56 ring gauge compared with its 5½” length, allowing the hefty stick to reach its full flavor potential in under an hour.

I purchased a box a few years ago and still have about six left. I have a few hundred other great cigars at any given time, so I’ve been savoring these Hoyo’s. Just smoked one tonight and I clearly need to just buy another box and not wait two months to smoke another one lol. They are perfect in every way, from start to finish. Just a fantastic smoking experience every time. Thank you Swiss Cuban for making it affordable to enjoy a great cigar!Response from store Thanks for your comments. We appreciate your opinion.

Don't get me wrong, this is a fine cigar--we are spllitting hairs here a little. I got some grassy, cilantro notes throughout this cigar that I did not care for. For the money the San Juan is longer, less expensive and only 1 size smaller ring guage. And it tastes way better. Construction and quality equal but the taste of the San Juan WAY better for me than the Rio Seco.Response from store Thanks for your comments. We really appreciate your opinion.

If you are looking for that classic Cuban twang and aroma that makes Cuban tobacco worth breaking the law to get then this HDM Seco is your smoke. Heavy draw with mild to strong twang aroma is addictive and I am on my third box. SCC is the place to shop for this Cuban twang and cigar experience. Great service great prices and fantastic smokes. Why would you shop elsewhere? Don’t waste your time and money on other sights for a true Cuban cigar. SCC is the place to purchase Cuban cigars and at reasonable price. I encourage cigar lovers to look and compare other sellers and you will be back at SCC to supply that Cuban need.Response from store Thanks for your comments. We really appreciate your opinion.
