Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No.2 Cabinet of 25
The Robusto of choice for many cigar epicureans. Formerly presented without any band, now it sports no less than two, so its identity is clear.
Hoyo de Monterrey traces its roots to the picturesque town of San Juan y Martinez, nestled in the heart of the Vuelta Abajo zone. At the centre of this renowned tobacco region stands the Hoyo de Monterrey plantation, recognised as one of the great Vegas de Primera. Visitors can access it through a gate marked "Hoyo de Monterrey. Jose Gener. 1960."
The name "Hoyo" translates literally to "hole," describing the plantation's unique location in a low-lying area along the fertile banks of the San Juan y Martinez River. José Gener, originally from Tarragona, Spain, first bestowed his vega's name upon a brand of Habanos in 1865.
Hoyo de Monterrey cigars are celebrated for their delicate yet aromatic blend, making them an ideal choice for aficionados who appreciate a lighter taste with exceptional elegance and complexity.
The brand is renowned for its Double Corona and the prestigious Epicure series, including the No.1 and No.2, with the addition of the longer Epicure Especial in 2008. The Le Hoyo Series offers vitolas known for their slightly stronger and spicier profiles compared to the brand's classic range.
Each cigar is meticulously crafted using the ‘tripalarga, totalmente a mano’ method—long filler, totally handmade—utilising filler and binder leaves exclusively from the Vuelta Abajo tobacco zone.
A preferred robusto among cigar epicureans! Formerly presented without bands, the Epicure No. 2 now proudly displays two bands to unmistakably signify its distinguished identity.
