Hoyo De Monterrey Souvenir de Luxe – Tin of 5 Cigars
This Souvenir de Luxe is the latest addition to the popular Linea Retro series that was launched in 2017 with the Partagás Capitols and Romeo y Julieta Club Kings. The H. Upmann Regalias also joined the family in 2020. All the cigars presented in the Retro range are Marevas (5 1/8” (124mm) x 42 ring gauge) and are presented in stylish tins containing five cigars with either a pop-up or slide off lid.
The retro metal tins, inspired by pocket cigar cases that were much in vogue during the 1970s, make these new additions portable and eminently stylish. The original cases are now much sought after by collectors around the world and often fetch high prices at auction.
The Souvenir de Luxe are all faithfully blended to the light flavoured Hoyo de Monterrey aroma using tobaccos from Vuelta Abajo, in the Pinar Del Rio region of Cuba.

About Hoyo de Monterrey
Flavour profile: Light
Hoyo de Monterrey owes its origin to the town of San Juan y Martinez, which lies at the heart of the Vuelta Abajo tobacco zone. Here, the Hoyo de Monterrey plantation is one of the great Vegas de Primera (First Class Fields). It can be reached through a gate on the town’s main square, inscribed with ‘Hoyo de Monterrey.’ José Gener. 1860’.
‘Hoyo’ literally means a ‘hole’ and in this case describes the low-lying position of the plantation on the fertile banks of the San Juan y Martinez river. José Gener, a Spaniard from Tarragona, first used the name of his vega on a brand of Havanas in 1865.
The flavor of Hoyo de Monterrey’s blend makes it an attractive choice for those who seek a delicate yet aromatic Havana. It is lighter to the taste but with great elegance and complexity.
Furthermore, the brand has earned renown for its Double Corona and the prestigious Epicure series, including the No.1 and No.2. It added the longer Epicure Especial in 2008. Additionally, the brand offers a range of vitolas known as the Le Hoyo Series. It is generally thought to be slightly stronger and spicier than the brand’s classic range.
Finally, all sizes are ‘tripa larga, totalmente a mano’ – long filler, totally handmade using filler and binder leaves from the Vuelta Abajo tobacco zone
