Hoyo de Monterrey

Hoyo de Monterrey Cigars Style

Hoyo de Monterrey cigars cover a wide range of styles, including some that are significantly lighter than traditional Cuban varieties. Most are heavy on wood, spice, and fine tobacco flavors, but some of their light-to-medium varieties have fruit and honey notes as well.

They smoke consistently and you can always appreciate the attention to detail that goes into every stick.

Although the exact color and filler varies between varieties, all the house’s cigars have smooth wrappers and an even draw. Like many Cuban brands, Hoy de Monterrey has focused on thicker cigars that have become more popular in recent years.

Hoyo de Monterrey Double Coronas are 7.6” long and have a 49 ring gauge. They have a distinctive medium body and honey notes that make them a top choice for fans of this brand.

Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial is a delight for fans of light-to-medium cigars. At 5.6” and ring gauge 50, they are generously-sized Robusto Extras with deliciously sweet, earthy, and spicy flavors.

The light body of the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2 balances fruit and tobacco flavors. Its 50 gauge, 4.9” Robusto size makes it perfect for a quick afternoon or morning smoke.

Serious cigar enthusiasts will love the Grand Epicure Edición Limitada 2013, which is a thick 55 ring gauge Robusto measuring 5.1”. This limited-edition run has aged beautifully to achieve a balance of wood, floral, coffee, and chocolate flavors that shifts gently between each third.

Hoyo de Monterrey Hermosos No. 4 Añejado has a fuller body than most other Hoyo de Monterrey cigars, with heavier leather and spice notes. It is a pre-aged 48 gauge and 5” Corona Extra great for smoking now.

Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de Rio Seco is the thickest of the Hoyo de Monterrey offerings, at ring size 56 and 5.5”. This unusual size is known as Aromosos and works perfectly to deliver strong fruity notes.

Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de San Juan is similar to the Epicure Especial, but with stronger wood notes. It is slightly larger, at ring size 54 and 5.9” long.

Finally, the Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robusto brings cedar and cappuccino flavors into a compact size. It is just 4” long, but its 50 gauge width allows it to pack plenty of flavor.
