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.
