Hoyo de Monterrey

A cigar is as good as the memories you get after smoking it. They are like wine; you will always come across good and bad ones. Over time, cigar smoking has been deemed a gentlemanly thing, an attractive trait that attracts most enthusiasts. However, it is not just about smoking any cigar; you have to ensure that the brand of cigar you opt for is of top-tier quality.

The name Hoyo de Monterrey makes most people think about Cuban cigars. Contrary to this, it is a Honduran Pro. It is characterized by a sweet aroma, perfect balance of flavours, and an appealing complexity. Yes, it might not be classified as a mellow cigar, but the fact that the flavours are balanced throughout the smoke makes a statement about this cigar. When you smoke it, you will notice that it starts with a cinnamon and pepper blend. This gradually transitions to stronger and richer notes such as coconut, cedar, and cocoa. No flavour overpowers another.

Hand-rolled or machine rolled?

Hoyo de Monterrey is handcrafted cigars formerly made by a master maker known as Estelo Padron, a Cuban marque who had made a name for himself in the cigar industry. This allows for better scent, proper distribution of flavours and makes smoking more enjoyable. Additionally, thanks to the hand rolling, the airflow is excellent, and it burns evenly.

Wrapper

It is easier to differentiate the Hoyo de Monterrey from other cigars due to its darker chocolate appearance. It looks very similar to other EL pyramid wrappers, only that the hue is spiced up with thin veins that add to the cigar's appearance. The aroma produced is a mixture of mustard, Japanese mayonnaise, and an additional earthiness touch.

Size variety

The Hoyo de Monterrey cigars are available in the following sizes.
