Hoyo de Monterrey owes its origin to the town of San Juan y Martinez, which lies at the heart of the Vuelta Abajo zone. Here the Hoyo de Monterrey plantation, one of the great Vegas de Primera, can be reached through a gate on the town's main square inscribed "Hoyo de Monterrey. Jose Gener. 1960."

"Hoyo" literally means "hole" and in this case describes the low-lying position of the plantation on the fertile banks of San Juan y Martinez river.  Jose Gener, a Spaniard from Tarragona, 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. 

Hoyo de Monterrey was the first brand to introduce a Petit Robusto in 2005, the 50 ring gauge size with a shorter length to suit those who like thicker formats, but do not always have the time to enjoy them.

Tasting Notes

This is a medium bodied cigar, it has an even burn with a very nice draw. It also has lots of earthly flavors, like hazelnut and coffee. A wonderful afternoon smoke.

----

91 / 100

"...Initial puffs of this tawny-coloured cigar are nutty and floral with clear notes of baking spices. The smoke becomes salty before showing its caramel sweetness..."

My first review of my first Hoyo Epicure No.1 Great looking cigar with double banding and very good construction minimum veining and very smooth The draw is excellent with tastes of fruit and malt in first and second thirds with spice coming in for the final third Burn was good with a nice aroma and lasted 1 1/2 hours To sum up the Hoyo Epicure No 1 Construction: excellent Draw: excellent Strength: medium throughout Taste: fruity, malt for first and second thirds then with added cool spice for the final third Burn: good Aroma: nice Overall: this is a fabulous cigar which in my opinion is better than the Epicure No.2 and well worth getting these in your humidor Score: I score these 93/100 Like a milder fruitier D4 will definitely be getting more of thes

Oooh yes, this is now one of my top 3. Very well rolled, looks good enough to eat, unlit aroma of sweet, floral tobacco. Lit the flavours ooze out, starting off mild (for a Havana) then eases its way to a firm medium flavour and body. Floral, cocoa, vanilla, very complex and delicious. Very creamy and smooth, unlike the Epicure 2 which is much spicier. Personally I prefer it over the Epi 2. written by A. Dyer
