\nSmoking<\/strong>\u00a0Time<\/strong>: 35 Minutes<\/p>\nHOYO DE MONETERREY<\/strong><\/p>\nHoyo de Monterrey owes its origin to the town of San Juan y Martinez, which lies at the heart of the\u00a0Vuelta Abajo<\/em>\u00a0zone. Here the Hoyo de Monterrey plantation, one of the great\u00a0Vegas de Primera,<\/em>\u00a0can be reached through a gate on the town’s main square inscribed “Hoyo de Monterrey. Jose Gener. 1960.”<\/p>\n“Hoyo” literally means “hole” and in this case describes the low-lying position of the plantation on the fertile banks of\u00a0San Juan y Martinez<\/em>\u00a0river.\u00a0 Jose Gener, a Spaniard from Tarragona, first used the name of his vega on a brand of Habanos in 1865.<\/p>\nThe 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.<\/p>\n
The brand is renowned for its Double Corona and for the prestigious Epicure series, the No.1 and No.2, to which the longer Epicure Especial was added in 2008. There is also a range of vitolas known as the Le Hoyo Series.\u00a0These are generally accepted to be slightly stronger and spicier than the brand\u2019s classic range.<\/p>\n

PETIT ROBUSTO<\/strong><\/p>\nPerhaps this cigar would have been better named Epicure No.3 as its presentation and style of taste are identical to the Epicure 1 & 2. Introduced in 2004, it was a timely anticipation of what smokers would face with smoking bans.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
