Featured Habanos brand of the month July - Week 2

The Hoyo de Monterrey Hermosos No. 4 is the third release from the new AÑEJADOS or AGED concept from Habanos s.a: (Montecristo Churchill and Romeo & Julieta Piramides were the first in 2015).

Not only is the vitola new to the brand measuring 5“ (127mm) x 48 ring gauge, the cigars have been box aged for between 5 to 8 years in the perfect humidity conditions of Cuba. This will afford the cigars a mellower, more refined taste as the blend of the leaves meld together over time realising their full potential.

The cigars are presented in dressed boxes of 25 and carry a second band to identify that they are AÑEJADOS. There is also a sticker on the box lid and like other Habanos Specialities, supply is limited to the quantity initially laid down to age.

Tasting Notes

This is everything I love about milder cigars: easy smoking but full of complexity. Slightly unexpected notes of pepper and leather are present throughout with bittersweet dark chocolate popping up towards the end. Good clean finish means it's ideal for a daytime smoke, but you might be tempted to light another one as soon as you finish!

They're slightly more full bodied than your average Hoyo, but very approachable. Without question my favourite Hoyo to date and a reminder of why 2007 is generally seen as one of the better recent years. Highly recommended!

"...This beautifully made robusto wears a fine cap and an oily wrapper. The smoke has a floral quality, balanced by elements of wood, almond and touches of vanilla bean..."

Perfect drew and razer straight burn from beginning to burnt fingers, without relighting for 50 minutes... nice spicy creamy sweet cedar thats beautifully aged and marries well with Metaxa 12 Having said this there are better cigars particularly if you keep them in your humidor for a few years; although for £20 reasonable value and much better than twice the value of many cigars priced at £10 and a well aged cigar in my opinion is always a very nice luxury, so will probably buy a few again and would give under four stars but is definitely worth much more than three so is a four star revew or 88/100

Don’t even bother!! Unless one dimensional Cuban Tobaco is your thing. No changes whatsoever. I got a faint hint of cedar and a tinge of spice but it comes and goes. It didn’t take me anywhere or leave me wanting more. Very very disappointing from what is said to be an aged cigar. Construction was good and combustion also. The aroma wasn’t the worst I’ve experienced but none the less, quite unpleasant. Hands down, the worst hoyo I’ve ever had but hey, you live and you learn!

The construction is very good, but didn’t seem to quite hit the Epicure 2 standards and looked lightly box pressed. Unlit aroma was Hay, barnyard, vanilla sweetness. Once punched it was easy to light and burned fairly evenly the whole way through. The first draw was not what I was expecting, predominantly hay/grass, woodiness and maybe some waxiness. As I got into the 1st third it gave way to spiciness and a hint of smokiness, but still a little waxy with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Smoke production was not a creamy as I have seen in other HDMs. The 2nd third was more of a revelation, with far more spiciness, not sweet, but more smokey/woody, with a leathery finish maybe some vanilla creeping in. Later in the 2nd third and continuing into the last third, it became sweeter and the smoke became fuller, with a sweeter leather aftertaste and spice being very much in the forefront. Altogether a much nicer cigar as we move into the 2nd and last third much more like a good HDM than the start, which was beginning to frustrate me in its lack or smoothness or production of smoke. All in all, a reasonable cigar, but I had expected more from a certified aged cigar and was left feeling that it was so nearly right, but missed the mark, not by much, but as there are so many other wonderful cigars to choose from the competition demands more. I have another 7 to smoke, so lets see if they improve in the humidor.

Now it's a bit odd reviewing this Anjedos cigar because I haven't tried the normal version yet. So for what it is worth I will have a go. I have tried a number of big named Anjedos cigars and have, in general, been fairly underwhelmed. But I bring good news, I loved this one! It was all one would hope for in an aged cigar; delicate, complex, soft on the palate with a unique mix of tastes which are very pleasant indeed. On initial inspection I was a little worried as the cigar seemed very soft, perhaps under filled or over humidified. But I am not an expert on Hoyos and the cigar smoked delightfully so maybe this is a general characteristic. We shall see because I am definitely going to buy more of these on my return to England. One thing I really liked was the maturation of any cedar notes that I assume are present in the younger cigars. It wasn't that the Cedar was prominent, far from it! It was as if the young cedar had matured into something not so easy to grasp; a willow the whisp or Elfine like, enchanting and magical. Before I go too far..... Just try one and see where it takes you.
