This vitola has been specially selected by Habanos, S.A. to commemorate the spring festival of the Chinese Lunar New Year, this year the “Year of the Ox”. The Primaveras de Hoyo de Monterrey is limited to a production of 8888 boxes, each containing 18 cigars, and will be available in all markets.
Hoyo de Monterrey is one of the most renowned Habanos brands. The name goes back to the plantation of the same name in San Juan y Martínez in the heart of the Vuelta Abajo. Undoubtedly one of the most famous plantations on very fertile soil. It alludes to the fertility of the Cuban lands where one of the world's most famous tobaccos is grown. All of the brand's vitolas are made "Totalmente a Mano con Tripa Larga" - completely by hand, with long fillers. The leaves all come from the Pinar del Río region, in the Vuelta Abajo* region.
