Brand Introduction

Hoyo de Monterrey takes its name from the town of San Juan y Martinez, located in the heart of the Vuelta Abajo tobacco-producing region. It is one of the large plantations in the Vegas Finas de Primera (Grand Premier Tobacco Estate), accessible through a gate in the town square. The gate is inscribed with "Hoyo de Monterrey. José Gener. 1860."

"Hoyo" literally means "low-lying area," referring to the plantation's location in a low-lying area on the fertile banks of the San Juan y Martinez River.

José Gener, a Catalan, was the first to use his Vega cigar name as the brand name for Havana cigars in 1865.

The flavor of Hoyo de Monterrey cigars makes them a popular choice for those seeking a Havana cigar that is refined in aroma, light in taste, yet impressive in its elegance and complexity.

The most well-known styles are the Double Corona and Epicure No. 1 and 2. However, there is also a range of medium and small ring gauge cigars—the Le Hoyo series.

All specifications are “totalmente a mano, tripa larga”—completely handmade long-mouth cigarettes.
