Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de San Juan Ratings

Rated 88 on 2020

Thick, dark and oily, this cigar burns a bit hot and smoky, producing a notably flaky ash. Notes of licorice and cedar take on the sweet, oaky qualities of a rum
barrel, before the burnt, charcoal finish.

 

Rated 88 on 2019

An over-packed head tightens the draw of this reddish toro. Notes of toast and leather come through as do the boozy qualities of rum and oak.

 

Rated 92 on 2018

A plump, well-made smoke with a veiny wrapper. Its primary notes of almonds and wood take on some earthy, mineral qualities before a sweet, fruity finish.

Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de San Juan FAQ's

In Cuba, Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de San Juan are generally priced lower than in international markets. Cuban cigars typically range from $8 to $90 USD per cigar, depending on the brand, vitola, and availability. Prestigious names such as Cohiba, Montecristo, and Partagás sit at the higher end. There is no real price advantage to purchasing full boxes, as the per-cigar cost remains the same unless you intend to leave the country with more than 50 cigars, in which case proper documentation is required to avoid confiscation by Cuban authorities.

For online buyers, packaging plays a key role. Boxed Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de San Juan cigars require official documentation and customs review before leaving the country, increasing shipping complexity and cost. That is why Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de San Juan cigars purchased online often cost more than in Cuba, largely due to the required paperwork for shipping. Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de San Juan cigars can also be shipped without boxes while maintaining the same quality, and are backed by a 100% money-back guarantee on delivery, offering a more refined and cost-conscious approach.

Traveling? Tips for returning to the United States with Cuban cigars.

When arriving in the U.S., the question is rarely just about cigars it’s about how you answer. If asked whether you have anything to declare, the reply is simple and measured “No”, especially when the total value stays within that familiar $800 threshold, a number that, like most things, can change over time. 95% of the time you will have no issues.

If the conversation becomes more direct, the details matter. If you are arriving from Cuba, the answer should still be “No”, because any cigars or liquor will be taken away if you say Yes. If you say No and they inspect your bags, worst case they’ll confiscate your cigars and liquor, and give you a verbal warning. Do not attempt to negotiate or explain, just say “I didn’t know” nothing more. The goal at this point is to leave with a verbal warning.

Saying “Yes” will ALWAYS result in losing your cigars and liquor.

If you are arriving from Spain or anywhere outside of Cuba, then you can answer “Yes” and simply say you have cigars or liquor from Spain or wherever your journey last took you. Do not say Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de San Juan, just keep it simple and say cigars.

Avoid all of this and buy from us, or have us ship it to you if you already sourced your cigars in Cuba.

The opening draws are creamy and aromatic cedar, fresh hay, and a gentle sweetness. As the cigar settles in, roasted nuts, light coffee, and a soft touch of cocoa emerge. Midway through, there’s a faint spice and a rounded earthiness that adds depth without heaviness. The finish is smooth, lingering, and balanced, inviting you back for another slow draw.

Precision matters here. A sharp guillotine preserves the cap and ensures a clean draw. Toast the foot gently, rotating the flame, then take slow, deliberate puffs.

Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de San Juan Cigars

The Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de San Juan is a grand robusto measuring 150 mm by a 54 ring gauge, wrapped in a fine, oily Colorado Maduro leaf that showcases its elegant construction. The cold draw reveals pleasant dried fruit notes, although the draw can be notably loose.

The first third greets the smoker with a stately, refined smoke highlighted by grilled and spicy nuances. The second third sees a brief increase in strength, bringing toasted and woody flavors to the forefront.

In the final third, wood and pepper blend harmoniously before giving way to inviting leather aromas. The body grows fuller as the smoke reaches its conclusion.

While rich and flavorful when expertly rolled, a concerning number of poorly constructed cigars with problematic draws has resulted in a half-ring reduction in its rating.
