Cigars Online - Hoyo De Monterrey Cigars

Steeped in a storied history that dates back to 1865, Hoyo De Monterrey stands as one of the most respected and time-honored cigar brands in the world. Originating in the fertile lands of Vuelta Abajo, Cuba, the brand was founded by José Gener, a Spanish immigrant who began his cigar journey growing tobacco before establishing one of the most prestigious factories in Havana. Today, Hoyo De Monterrey cigars are celebrated not only for their deep Cuban roots but also for the excellence and consistency that they bring to both the Cuban and Honduran cigar markets. The name "Hoyo De Monterrey" translates to "the Hole of Monterrey," referring to the uniquely deep, fertile concave of land that lends the tobacco its distinctive flavor. This geographical advantage is crucial, as it allows the tobacco to develop a rich, nuanced profile that is both smooth and robust. The premium Cuban variants are highly sought after by connoisseurs for their complex, aromatic blends of filler and binder tobaccos, all encased in a top-quality wrapper that burns evenly to unveil layers of flavors ranging from spicy to sweet. In the non-Cuban line, produced mainly in Honduras following the Cuban Revolution, Hoyo De Monterrey has adapted its heritage to suit a broader palette while maintaining high manufacturing standards.
