Hoyo de Monterrey

Jos' Gener, a Catalan, first used the name of his vega on a brand of Habanos in 1865.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 best-known sizes are the Double Corona and the Epicure Nos. 1 and 2 but there is also a range of standard and slender gauge vitolas known as the Le Hoyo Series.All sizes are "totalmente a mano, tripa larga" —totally hand made, long filler.

Flavour Ranking: Light.
