Founded in 1865 by José Gener, an established tobacco planter in the Vuelta Abajo region, Hoyo de Monterrey is one of the biggest cigar factories in Cuba. Translated literally as the Monterrey Valley, this cigar comes from the infamous and ever fertile region of Vuelta Abajo. Thanks to its sleek quality, complex composition, perfect burn, and well-balanced flavors, some believe it is the most sought after Cuban cigar ever produced. Manufactured in seven factories, the Hoyo and the Great Hoyo Double Corona are contrived using only the best and most fine tobacco.
