Hoyo de Monterrey is undergoing a retooling that is being marked by the release of two new blends, the Hoyo de Monterrey Oscuro and Hoyo de Monterrey Rojo.
Rojo features a Honduran Jamastran wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and filler tobaccos from Honduras, Nicaragua, and the Dominican Republic. The Oscuro comes with a Brazilian Mata Fina Oscuro wrapper, Ecuadorian Sumatra binder, and filler composed of Dominican, Honduran, and Nicaraguan tobacco.
Both come in three sizes; the 4.5 x 50 Rothschild ($5.99), a 6 x 52 Toro ($7.49), and a 6 x 60 Gigante ($8.49). They come packaged in 10-count boxes.ย
โThe launch of these blends represents more than just new cigars,” Senior Brand Manager Ed Lahmann said in a press release. “They are about honoring the brandโs deep-seated foundation in Honduras. As one of the first Cuban expat brands available in the U.S., Hoyo de Monterrey laid the foundation for Honduran cigar-making nearly 60 years ago and has become a living legend in the world of premium cigars. With the launch of โRojoโ and โOscuro,โ the brandโs journey is reflected in its commitment to balancing traditional Honduran craftsmanship against the handmade cigar categoryโs ever-changing tides.โ
