Announced in 2018, this cigar has recently been introduced to the market. It is the latest addition to the Hoyo de Monterrey brand. It is dressed in the new band that unites the new releases of the “Serie Le Hoyo” line. It releases a smoke that reflects the flavor profile of the brand. Intense and with a broad bouquet, it has a remarkable persistence.
It develops notes of wood and vanilla, supported by a veiled pepperiness in the background. Vegetal aromas are also present. In the second half, walnut and wet earth are added. The base is sweet.

HOW ARE THE AWARDS MADE?
Among the cigars tested during the year in blind tastings and reviews, those that scored the best score get re-selected. These products were then tested once again in a new blind tasting, which means not knowing what they are during the tasting. The test results are then compared and the TOP 5 are made.
Since 2015, CigarsLover Magazine has focused on terroirs, in order to give the right space to all the producing countries.
From 2018, the TOP 5 were paired with the TOP 50, which lists the 50 best cigars without distinction of origin. This list, together with the Best Brands, the Best Buy and the Best Boutique Brands, will be published in Winter 2019 issue of CigarsLover Magazine.
