Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure De Luxe LCDH

Hoyo de Monterrey is one of the most historic Habanos brands. Hoyo de Monterrey owes its origin to the town of San Juan y Martinez, which lies at the heart of the Vuelta Abajo tobacco zone in Pinar del Rio, Cuba. Here the Hoyo de Monterrey plantation, one of the great Vegas de Primera , can be reached through a gate on the town’s main square inscribed “Hoyo de Monterrey, José Gener. 1860”.

The flavour of Hoyo de Monterrey‘s blend makes it an attractive choice for those who seek a delicate yet aromatic Habano that is lighter to the taste but with great elegance and complexity. The brand is renowned for its Double Corona  and for the range of medium and slender gauge vitolas known as the “Le Hoyo” series. There is also the prestigious Epicure Series, the No. 1 and No. 2 , to which the longer Epicure Especial was added in 2008. Now the Epicure de Luxe is added to the Epicure Series in this special production for La Casa del Habano.

Hoyo de Monterrey Grand Epicure Limited Edition 2013

The Cigar 

Hoyo Le Hoyo De Rio Seco

The Cigar:

Le Hoyo de Rio Seco is the second recent introduction to the "le Hoyo Series", following the 2015 release of Le Hoyo de San Juan. These cigars only use Seco and Ligero leaves grown in San Juan y Martinez, a small town in Vuelta Abajo, a world-famous tobacco growing zone in Cuba

Hoyo De Monterrey Petit Robustos

The Cigar:

Perhaps this cigar would have been better named Epicure No.3 as its presentation and style of taste are identical to the Epicure 1 & 2. Introduced in 2004, it was a timely anticipation of what smokers would face with smoking bans.

Hoyo De Monterrey Epicures No.2

The Cigar:

The robusto of choice for many cigar epicureans. Formerly presented without any band, now it sports no less than two, so its identity is clear.

Hoyo De Monterrey Epicures No.1

The Cigar:

A long standing favourite amongst the admirers of this classic, heavyish gauge size. Lighter tasting than the Punch Punch or Cohiba Siglo IV, but plenty of fragrant complexity nonetheless.

Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure Especial

The Cigar:

Introduced as the top of the Epicure line in 2008, this extralength robusto delivers the classic light-flavoured elegance of the Epicure No.2 for an additional five eighths of an inch.

Hoyo De Monterrey Du Maire

The Cigar:

The size name means ‘between acts’, so here we have size designed to satisfy the theatre going smoker during the interval; these days, of course, on the pavement outside.

Hoyo De Monterrey Du Depute

The Cigar:

An elegant small cigar with a decent 38 ring gauge that makes it the perfect morning smoke. For many years it was the only cigar of this size in the Havana portfolio until it was joined by the Montecristo Open Junior in 2009.

Hoyo De Monterrey De San Juan

The Cigar:

Hoyo de Monterrey is by far the most popular brand within the light flavour category outlined by Habanos S. A. The Le Hoyo series is typified by a delicate, cedar taste with a hint of white pepper and cream, that remains light enough for inexperienced smokers, while offering enough elegance and layering of flavours to keep aficionados satisfied.

Min Ron NEE in his 2003 tome ‘An Illustrated Encyclopaedia of Post-Revolution Havana Cigars’ says Hoyo de Monterrey cigars are ‘characterised by their soft, sweet style. The tobacco blend is creamy sweet, mild and aromatic’.

This new cigar displays all of these classic characteristics but, with a 54 ring gauge, does so within a very modern format. Most agree that, although it is displaying a great deal of subtlety, finesse and delicacy already, it also has wonderful ageing potential for the medium to long term.

A most welcome addition to the Hoyo family.
