Hoyo de Monterey

No Cuban cigar company is more celebrated than the legendary Hoyo de Monterrey.  Dating back to 1865, the brand originated in the heart of the Vuelta Abajo region, specifically the San Juan y Martínez plantation, which was renowned for producing some of the finest tobacco in Cuba. Translating to “The Hole of Monterrey” these Cuban classics were named in homage to the rocky terrain of the area in which these premium cigars originated.

Hoyo de Monterrey was founded by José Gener, a Spanish immigrant who settled in Cuba. Gener's commitment to producing exceptional cigars led to the brand's swift rise in popularity. His dedication to selecting the best tobacco leaves and adhering to traditional production methods set the standard for the brand's cigars.

One of the distinguishing features of Hoyo de Monterrey cigars is their elegant, mild to medium flavor profile. This characteristic has made them a favorite choice among cigar enthusiasts who appreciate smoother and more approachable smoke.

While the brand produces many leading cigars, the Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona is perhaps most widely recognized as a masterpiece in the cigar world for its balanced and refined taste. Throughout its history, Hoyo de Monterrey has consistently delivered premium cigars, even during challenging times, such as the Cuban Revolution. The brand's unwavering commitment to quality and tradition has solidified its place among the top Cuban cigar brands.

Today, Hoyo de Monterrey remains a symbol of Cuban cigar craftsmanship, treasured by aficionados worldwide. Its enduring legacy is a testament to the art of cigar making and the rich history of Cuban tobacco.
