Hoyo de Monterrey:
Year of foundation: 1865
Tobacco Country: Cuba
Tobacco Procedence: Vuelta Abajo
Factory: La Corona
Established by Jose Gener in 1865, the name roughly means "valley of Monterrey," a particularly fertile site in the Vuelta Abajo, which had been farmed by Gener since at least 1860. The brand offers a lighter flavour and a wide range of sizes, the largest of which are much celebrated. The Le Hoyo series was introduced about 1970 and presents a stronger flavour.
