Description

The Hoyo de Monterrey Double Coronas is a subtle Cuban cigar, a light-medium Prominent. For some, they say this is the best cigar in the world. This Double Corona has already confirmed its rank in the marketplace: it’s a great smoke. The only complain that could be made about this cigar come from very seasoned aficionados who would say it might not be strong enough.
As all vitolas from Hoyo de Monterrey this Doble Coronas (Double Coronas) is extremely well constructed. It has a smooth oily wrapper, a good draw and strong aromas. Every modern Habano has somehow been influenced by this amazing cigar, but it is in a league of its own. It is softer in touch and creamier than the Partagas Lusitanias and the Double Coronas from Punch, it appears also bigger when in hand.

Truly a woman’s and man’s smoke. This is big, bold, hearty and beefy but in a sophisticated way. Never harsh or aggressive.

• A simple yet very complex smoke. Subtle yet profound.

• Everything one could hope for may be found in this cigar.

A sensual delight for those times when you have 2+ hours to spare. Relax and savor the aromas and flavor.
