Cuban Cigars

Description

The cigar measures 5 9/10 inches (150mm) long with a 54-ring gauge, a vitola known as the geniales. It is a vitola that has been used many times for Edición Regional releases, but can also be found in regular production cigars, notably the Montecristo Open Eagle and the Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de San Juan. The cigar “a generous and elegant Habano with subtle and medium-bodied notes.”

The Cigar

60,000 Seleccion Superba were produced by the Empresa de Habana at their factory in San Antonio de los Banos in Havana Province. They are presented in 6,000 numbered boxes, containing 10 cigars each and quickly became another very collectable UK Regional Edition. 

This wonderful cigar has full, rich flavours of earth, cedar and wood with a spicy kick throughout. As you smoke the cigar, you will be presented with beautiful, creamy smoke whilst the flavour develops into a medium chocolate flavour which spreads over the palate.

Montecristo OPEN  Eagle

The Cigar:

The largest of the Montecristo Open series introduced in 2009. Its innovative 54 ring gauge format houses a different, slightly lighter tobacco blend than you find in standard Montecristos. Suits experienced and novice smokers alike

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.
