An outstanding classic for experienced connoisseurs.
The Habanos range is truly rich in cigars that can be described as classics. And one such is the Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona in the format of the same name, which is also called "Prominente" in Cuba and has a length of 19.4 cm, a diameter of 1.94 cm, which corresponds to a 49 ring gauge. This outstanding cigar for experienced connoisseurs is an icon of the Hoyo de Monterrey brand and has been one of the best Habanos has to offer for decades.
Hoyo de Monterrey is one of the oldest Cuban cigar brands and is an ideal brand for smokers who prefer fine and at the same time aromatic Habanos. The cigars are comparatively light, but convince with great elegance and complexity. The Double Corona is recommended as a starter. It has a creamy sweetness, a mild tobacco flavour and soft, slightly woody aromas at medium strength. The cigars of the Epicure family are very similar in taste, but in their different, but consistently shorter formats, they are also suitable for more limited occasions. The Epicure No. 1 proves to be surprisingly fruity, in contrast to the Epicure No. 2, which is clearly woodier and also stronger.
The creamy sweetness typical of Hoyo recedes somewhat into the background, but is still present. The Epicure Especial is still relatively new on the market. In terms of taste, it fits harmoniously into the family. The cigars in the Le Hoyo series are slender and elegant, but also more powerful, with strong woody-sweet aromas.
