The taste of the Hoyo de Monterrey makes it a popular choice for people looking for a fine yet fragrant Habano that is lighter in flavour but retains its remarkable grace and complexity.
Today, the "Hoyo de Monterrey" brand offers a diverse range of cigars. These include classics such as the marvellous Double Corona and the Robusto format Epicure No.2, which together with the Epicure No.1 and the Epicure Especial now form the "Epicure" line.
In 2005, Hoyo de Monterrey was the first brand to add a Petit Robusto to its repertoire, with a ring gauge of 50 but shorter length, for people who love big ring gauges but don't have much time to enjoy them thoroughly.
The "Le Hoyo" collection is also an important element of the brand. Historically, the label "Le Hoyo" referred to configurations with a thin to medium ring gauge.
Habanos S.A. then launched the large-volume format "Le Hoyo de San Juan" with great success in 2014, followed by "Le Hoyo de Rio Seco" in 2018.
With "Le Hoyo de San Juan", Habanos S.A. has focussed on the origin of the tobaccos for the first time. For the filler - Ligero, Seco and Volado - only tobaccos from the "San Juan y Martinez" location in the Vuelta Abajo tobacco-growing zone are used, which is legally protected as a designation of origin. The high volume of the two new Le Hoyo shapes enhances the wonderful, fragrant blend with plenty of tobacco sweetness. The excellent tobaccos from San Juan y Martinez have a significant influence on its flavour.
All shapes of the "Hoyo de Monterrey" brand are totalmente a mano, tripa larga - completely handmade long fillers with Vuelta Abajo filler and binder.
