Hoyo De Monterrey - Double Corona - Box of 25
Hoyo De Monterrey - Double Corona - Box of 25
A box of 25 cigars, the connoisseur's choice for laying down and ageing.
One of the most celebrated large Havanas: a Prominente for a long, leisurely smoke.
Hoyo de Monterrey was first used as a brand in 1865 by José Gener, named after his plantation at San Juan y Martínez in the Vuelta Abajo; the gate still bears his name. Habanos class the classic Hoyo range as light in flavour: delicate, aromatic and elegant.
Connoisseurs' notes
Published reviewers commonly describe the Double Corona as having floral and almond notes with vanilla, caramel and cinnamon.
