Guantanamera Cristales Tubos

The Cigar

Machine-made with short-filler Cuban tobacco this is a deceptively substantial cigar at just under six inches long. Presented in individual plastic tubes it is light bodied, pre-cut and affordable. Making it a popular choice among occasional smokers at weddings or other memorable events. 

Flavour: Light 
Line: Cristales
Ring Gauge: 41
Length: 5 7/8 Inches - 150 mm

Guantanamera Puritos

The Cigar

At just over four inches in length the purito is undoubtedly the baby of the brand. But don't let that fool you, there is still plenty of aromatic Cuban character to be enjoyed in this small cigar

Flavour: Light 
Line: Puritos
Ring Gauge: 29
Length: 4 1/8 Inches - 106 mm

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.

Hoyo De Monterrey Double Coronas

The Cigar:

A mighty cigar with a surprisingly subtle and creamy flavour. It rocketed to stardom when the second issue of Cigar Aficionado rated a late ‘80s example 99 out of 100. Still a cigar to be reckoned with.

Hoyo de Monterrey Elegantes LCDH is a unique cigar that is delicate, aromatic, and complex in taste. An attractive choice for the cigar aficionado.

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 Epicure No.3

The Cigar

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 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 Grand Epicure Limited Edition 2013

The Cigar 

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 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

Quai D'Orsay No.50

The Cigar:

This 2017 release from Quai D'Orsay offers smokers a lighter alternative in a popular size, and comes dressed in a new band that is destined to become standard across the range. 

About the Brand: 

This brand owes its origin to the refined taste of the French market. Created in the 1970’s, the name is taken from a well-known street in Paris beside the River Seine.

Although the current range is small, all Quai d’Orsay sizes are made with a distinctive light tasting blend of filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone and its wrappers are mainly distinguished by their Claro (light brown) and Colorado Claro (mid brown) colours.

All sizes are ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade.

Quai d’Orsay was established in 1974 for the French market. The brand takes its name from the avenue in Paris beside the river Seine that used to be home to the headquarters of SEITA, the then state- owned tobacco importer for France who with Cubatabaco (now Habanos s.a.), joined forces to produce an elegant Cuban brand with a certain je ne sais quoi.

In 2017 the brand received a make-over and two new modern sizes were introduced (No. 50 & No. 54) to join the one remaining surviving vitola (Coronas Claro). Since  then the brand has gone from strength to strength with Quai d’Orsay selected by Habanos s.a.to join the Habanos Limited Edition family in 2019 (Senadores) and by numerous Habanos Distributors around the world to represent their market as a Habanos Regional Edition.

The No.52 is a new vitola within the standard Habanos portfolio and like its two counterparts, is named after the ring gauge it boasts. It is perhaps closest in size to the Montecristo Double Edmundo, sharing its length but with a two-point wider girth.

Classified as light bodied, this is a delicate, well- balanced and thoroughly modern Habanos.

Quai D'Orsay No.54

The Cigar:

This is an entirely new size within the Habanos SA portfolio. It is very similar to the Montecristo Edmundo but a fraction wider. A light bodied, easy going and thoroughly modern Havana that is packed full of Gallic charm. 

About the Brand: 

This brand owes its origin to the refined taste of the French market. Created in the 1970’s, the name is taken from a well-known street in Paris beside the River Seine.

Although the current range is small, all Quai d’Orsay sizes are made with a distinctive light tasting blend of filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo zone and its wrappers are mainly distinguished by their Claro (light brown) and Colorado Claro (mid brown) colours.
