Epicure No 1

HOYO DE MONTERREY  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. LA CASA DEL HABANO EXCLUSIVE CIGARS La Casa del Habano, as the franchise network of Habanos S.A. is called, comprises more than 150 tobacco shops specializing in Habanos worldwide. Each one guarantees the best possible service as well as a wide selection of Habanos of different brands and vitolas as well as walk-in humidors with ideal temperature and humidity conditions. Several productions are exclusively reserved for the La Casa del Habano shops, such as the Colección Habanos and Replica Antigua humidors as well as unique vitolas for certain Habano brands. We are lucky to have two La Casa del Habano franchises, one in Chester and one in Knutsford. This allows us to offer you the full range to C.Gars customers online.

New and only temporarily in our range are the Hoyo de Monterrey Hermosos No.4 Añejados. These cigars were rolled in 2007 and 2008, and thus are maturation stored for at least seven years. That is why the year is on the bottom of the box, supplemented with “Revisado”. This stamp confirms that all cigars are once again thoroughly inspected one by one before they are sold. Unique about these cigars is, however, not only the fact that they are maturation stored. Also the format makes them something special, because it is not part of the standard range of the brand. The Hoyo de Monterrey Hermosos No.4 come out as a one off and in a very limited quantity. A second band and a sticker on the lid of the box designate them as “Habanos Añejados”. The boxes with 25 of these wonderful cigars are decorated with colourful lithographies which is typical for the brand.
