Hoyo Epicure No 2
Hoyo de Monterrey are an exceptional Cuban Cigar brand, their cigars tend to be mild in flavour and are a light and easy to smoke cigar, don't let the mildness put you off though as there are still many rich flavours you receive from these cigars. In 1831 Don Jose Gener y Batet at the age of 13 came to Cuba from Spain. He worked on his uncles tobaccos plantation in Vuelta Abajo, where he learnt all there was to know about growing and producing tobacco for cigars. Fast forward 20 years and Don Jose produced his own line "La Escepcion" in his new factory in Havana, he then invested his profits in to purchasing one of the finest farmlands in Vuelta Abajo and registered the name Hoyo de Monterrey, which in English means " the hole of the Monterrey". The brand became incredibly popular and was especially popular in the UK by the time Don Jose Gener passed away in 1900 his cigar brand was one of the biggest in Cuba.
The Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Number 2 is a good sized mild cigar, a great smoke for someone who is relatively new to cigars but still wants to taste premium Cuban quality. Alternatively this is a cigar of choice for many experienced smokers who enjoy a lighter smoke for either the mornings or to be paired with delicate flavours.
