HOYO DE MONTERREY

History of HOYO DE MONTERREY

José Gener, originally a leaf grower and eventually the founder of one of the greatest Cuban cigars factories on the Island of Cuba, began producing the great Hoyo de Monterrey brand in 1960. The "Le Hoyo" series was added to the commercial cigar market in the mid-seventies. The name translates roughly as "the valley of Monterrey", which is a particularly fertile area of land in the "Vuelta Abajo" area of South west Cuba. Gener farmed in this valley for many years during the late 1800's. Known by all cigar connoisseurs due to its distinctive flavor, silky richness and complexity of taste, the Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona is perhaps the most sought after and coveted Cuban cigar made. Some believe "gold" really does grow from the ground ! Produced in 7 factories, the Hoyo vitolas and the magnificent Hoyo Double Corona are made with only the finest Cuban tobacco.

I like dimly lit smoking clubs, they have character and you meet a myriad of interesting folk all of whom can teach you something novel about the cigar game. Yet, I can understand aficionados don't want to be locked away in some dingy nook. There is nothing like smoking this No.2 on a sunny day with a nice chilled beer in your hand. This Robustos is crisp, fruity and airy, it wouldn't go down too well in some of the smoking clubs I have attended. Rick swears by these Epicure No.2 and he is our resident neo-Habano fiend, his one word description of the Hoyo Epicure No.2 is 'Fruity', he could be right!
