The name Hoyo de Monterrey is due to the city of San Luis y Martinez, which is located in the heart of the Vuelta Abajo tobacco region. The plantation Hoyo de Monterrey, one of the great Vegas Finas de Primera, can be reached through a gate on the main square, on which the inscription 'Hoyo de Monterrey. José Gener. is 1860 'attached.
'Hoyo' literally means 'valley' and in this case describes the low-lying position of the plantation on the fertile banks of the River San Juan y Martinez.
José Gener, a Spaniard from Catalonia, was the first to use the name of his Vega as a brand name for Habanos in 1865.
The Seco, Volado and Ligero leaves that make up the smooth flavour blend of Hoyo de Monterrey come exclusively from the San Juan y Martínez* tobacco-growing district (P.A.O.), continuing the strength that was unveiled with the Le Hoyo de San Juan vitola. With this new vitola, the preparation of Habanos blends with the specific characteristics of the different Cuban Appellations of Origin is further deepened. This strength, which contributes consistency and intensity, is typical of this area’s soil.
