Hoyo de Monterrey

Touted as one of the greatest Cuban cigar factories on the island of Cuba, Hoyo de Monterrey, translating to ‘Valley of Monterrey’, was founded in 1865 by José Gener, a tobacco leaf grower, as a tribute to the extremely fertile soil in the famed Vuelta Abajo region. With a smooth silky richness, a complex taste and balanced fragrance and flavour, Hoyo de Monterrey Double Coronas have become known as the most sought after Cuban cigar ever made, while the Hoyo Série, debuted in 1970, is stronger and more full-bodied. Made in 7 factories with the finest Cuban tobacco, the Hoyo de Monterrey Double Coronas or the Hoyo de Monterrey Épicure No. 2 are top recommendations.
