Hoyo de Monterrey Elegantes
First vitola of the brand exclusively for La Casa del Habano!
Hoyo de Monterrey Elegantes is the brand's first exclusive edition for La Casa del Habano and Habanos Specialist stores, following the release of the Epicure de Luxe in 2012 and Escogidos in 2018.
Presented in 2016 during the Habanos Festival, the Hoyo de Monterrey Elegantes is a standout due to its rare size and exquisite craftsmanship. The vitola, known as Tacos, measures 158 mm in length with a 47 ring gauge. This particular size is uncommon in the Habanos S.A. portfolio and was also utilized for the Ramón Allones Regional Edition for Mexico in 2020.
The Hoyo de Monterrey Elegantes is adorned with a cinnamon brown wrapper, offering an appealing visual and a tantalizing aroma. Hand-rolled with tobacco from the renowned Vuelta Abajo region of Cuba, these cigars are presented in a slide-lid box containing 10 cigars, each adorned with a special La Casa del Habano band, signifying its exclusivity. The meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail are evident in the presentation, making it a true collector’s item.
When it comes to flavor, the Elegantes delivers an exceptional tasting experience. The tapered shape concentrates the flavors, bringing together notes of nutmeg, candied apple, and vanilla. These are presented in a more focused manner compared to Hoyo’s traditional rounder parejo shapes. The Elegantes' cinnamon brown wrapper not only enhances its visual appeal but also contributes to its flavor profile. The cigar begins with a smooth draw, gradually revealing its complexity. Flavors of cedar and dark chocolate intermingle with barnyard and espresso beans, creating a harmonious blend that evolves throughout the smoking session. Cinnamon notes add a final touch of spice, making the smoking experience both sophisticated and enjoyable. The flavor profile is rich and varied, ensuring that each puff provides a new sensation for the palate.
For those who appreciate the finer things in life, the Elegantes offers a sophisticated and nuanced smoking experience, wrapped in the legacy and elegance that Hoyo de Monterrey is known for.
