Christmas Corona Gordas, Day 4: Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No.1

My cold is not getting any better and smoking three cigars with the gang last night surely didn’t help. But we had a fantastic night and we all enjoyed it. The 4th Transnational Tasting next year will be something to look forward  to. Despite not being in the best of conditions to smoke another cigar, [...]

In Our Memory Of: Hoyo Churchill

Another classic cigar that is being discontinued in 2012 is the Hoyo Churchill. Not so many years ago, when the robusto and corona variations were the popular sizes, Churchill was the size of “celebration” cigars. With the number of large format cigars being limited back then, the sales of the Hoyo Churchill were good. Nowadays, [...]

Hoyo de Monterrey Petit Robusto

It has been a while since I last reviewed a cigar and I would like to apologise to everyone for my absence. Work as well as added family commitments since our new arrival, have left me unable find to the time needed to smoke and review a cigar. Although I have been smoking quite regularly, [...]

Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo du Dauphin

I have recently taken a liking for thinner ring gauge cigars, after smoking some delicious panetelas,lonsdales and coronas. These sizes are no longer considered “favourite” sizes, with Habanos axing them every year to make space for the current fashion, that dictates cigars should have a ring gauge larger than 50. We are being fed with these new releases [...]

The 12 Robustos of Xmas, Day 6:
Hoyo De Monterrey Epicure No.2
The Epicure No.2 is one of the most popular vitolas of Hoyo de Monterrey and one of the most popular Robustos in the market. It happens to be one of my favourite cigars too, but it can be very inconsistent. When you smoke a good [...]

The 12 Robustos of Christmas

December 24th 2009
Christmas is a great time for smoking cigars; many of us keep our best stogies for Christmas day and new years day. Being quite indecisive of what to smoke this year, we decided to smoke twelve robustos, one on each of the twelve days of Christmas, and review them head to head to decide which [...]

Hoyo de Monterrey Regalos - LE 2007

Four Hoyo de Monterrey Regalos have been sitting on the bottom of my humidor a little over a year now. The first of the five was smoked late in 2007 and did not impress me as it was still too young. With the winter sun slightly breaking the January cold, I decided to put on [...]
