Hoyo De Monterrey CigarsGreat taste, everything else was only ok I can't say enough about the great taste these cigars have. Flavorful and delicious, but the construction was not so great. The wrapper started peeling almost immediately, and was coming totally off by the end. Also, about 3/4 of the way down, it became impossible to draw from and I had to just ditch it. Great taste, maybe a different size would be better?
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Churchill by Mike of Ohio on October 9, 2008cigar mastersgreat cigar taste good but to strong but if any one did not smoke this cigar what are you wating for.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Demi Tasse (5) by jim of ny on August 23, 2008Tastes great and doesn't stinkThis cigar burns, draws and tastes well, though not excellent. Consider buying again. I like the wooden box also.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Petit (10) by K. of Bay Area on July 31, 2008MediocreUnpleasant after-taste, mediocre flavor.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Sabrosos by James D of Michigan on July 11, 2008NICE SMOKE FROM FIRST DRAW TO LAST EXHALETHE ONLY THING BETTER THAN YOUR PRODUCTS ARE YOUR PRICES. KEEP 'EM COMING.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Governor 5 Pack by CUBE of WILMINGTON, DE on May 2, 2008Great CigarI bought this cigar on impulse and I'm glad I did. Great draw, even burn and from the few that I have had so far, they appear to have been rolled by a master roller. I truly enjoy this little beauty and will definitely be buying more once I finish the current box.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Robusto by Kosta K of Easton, PA on March 23, 2008Wonderful rich flavor in a small cigarThis one surprised me. If you want a small cigar with a rich flavor profile that you'd only expect from from a lager size, this is it. Construction is solid, burn even and great medium to full flavor. Highly recommended.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Sabrosos by Jeff of Charlotte, NC on March 12, 2008Not long filler!The descripeion said 'fully-aged long-fillers', so I bought 'em. It's rare to find long-fillers in such a small cigar. I got 'em home and smoked one. It wasn't bad, but harsher than I expected. Also, it wasn't very firm. So when I got done with it, I put it out and busted it open--short filler! Not a terrible smoke, but it definitely pales in comparison to any long-filler cigar at the 36 ring guage. I've tried many short-filler small cigars, and none are quite satisfying. I wouldn't buy these again.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Petit by Scott Myers of Seattle, WA on February 3, 2008Over priced but good cigar.I bought a five sample pack. Good looking cigar,made well and drew well. Cost a little more than I want to pay for a cigar.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Rothschild 5 Pack by Nickelson of Carrollton, Ga. on November 20, 2007Not Bad but Not GreatNot a cigar I would rush to buy more. It's just alright.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Robusto by Greg of Kennesaw, GA on November 3, 2007Good! Good! Good!Nice little cigar with great taste and aroma! A good 30-45min smoke. Well worth every penny.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Rothschilds (Cello) by G. Delgado of Kennesaw, GA on October 25, 2007Great cigar! Great price!I've only had one of these but it was very well constructed with an even burn and a smooth taste. I've just bought eight more from this line to try. If they're anything like the first I'm sure they'll go quick.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Robusto by G. Delgado of Kennesaw, Ga on October 18, 2007Great cigar!This is a fantastic cigar. The best tasting cigar I've had yet. Burns very well. I've had 2 or 3 suffer from a hard pull, but that is out of 200 or 300 cigars. I can't stress how much I believe this cigar is the best bang for the buck.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Governor by Phil Mercurio of PA on July 24, 2007Very nice rich cigar.I often switch between these and the Hoyo Governors. I believe these to be a little more full bodied and would rate them as more on the full side rather than medium compared the the Governors. I like them because they are a great tasting smoke without being overwhelming. They are very consistant burning leaving a pleasing long ash. Like the Governors they smell delicious!
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Estelo Tubo by Ed Hemen of WA on July 15, 2007Smoked these for years one of my favoritesRound even flavor finishes nicely. Good ash to the end. Some odd wrapper lifting once in a while and occasional but rare hard pull issues. Some would rate it full bodied I say more medium too full.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Governor by Ed Hemen of WA on July 15, 2007Very nice all aroundThis was a very nice smoke all around. It has a full body, easy draw, good ash, and consistent quality. It has replaced my favorite, which was Punch Rothchild Maduro. They are similar, but the Hoya is a slightly better quality and more consistent.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Rothschild 5 Pack by Mike of San Martin, CA on June 27, 2007Earthy and spicy, wonderful smokeOne of the best medium to full strength cigars I've had the pleasure of. Medium draw with no bite. Finishes nicely.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Rothschilds by Scott Morehouse of GA on April 24, 2007Horrible drawPerhaps I got a bad one, but almost got a hernia trying to suck some smoke out of this thing. Smoked about half of it and then gave up. Taste was not all that hot either, but that may be just me--I was sucking so hard on this piece of wood, maybe my taste buds stopped working.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Rothschild 5 Pack by Tim of Wisconsin on April 13, 2007DisappointedThe Largo Elegante Maduro was given a rating of 88 by CA in the economy-priced cigar class, so I thought I'd give the natural version a try, as well. It's a nice enough cigar, I suppose, but not what I'd hoped it would be. My experience has been that it's hard to find a really good cigar in that 34-38 ring size category and, after sampling the Largo Elegante Natural, it still is. Oh, well...
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Largo Elegante by Brian of Minnesota on March 20, 2007One of the best Maduros aroundIf you like a good Maduro cigar, then I highly recommend these. The Jose Gener line is one of the best Maduro's I have had. The price is always reasonable as well.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Churchill by Ray of C.C. FL on March 14, 2007An excellent little cigarThese cigars are little, but still have the excellent flavor that the Jose Gener's do. A great cigar for the price. A must buy when I get low on small Maduro's.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Sabrosos by Ray of C.C. FL on March 14, 2007pretty good cigar and fabulous drawI have only had a few Honduran Hoyos as we can burn Cuban crops all we want down here but I was impressed with this big draw med/full bodied smoke. I was worried by all the reviews that canned the construction. However it was one of the better cigars I tried from Honduras. I am going to order a box and hope the promo 3 pack was not rolled by a master and the rest by beginers.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Robusto by philip beale of Australia on March 2, 2007USED to be my only cigar, in the 1970'sYears ago my wife would send me boxes of the Hoyo Churchills while stationed in Germany. In those days I don't think you could find a better cigar, especially where taste was concerned. I went away from Hoyo for a time as the burn and construction began to lag severely. Recently, I ordered a box of Churchills hoping things had improved. Well, in my humble opinion the Hoyo brand has continued its' downward spiral into mediocrity. While the taste is exceptional, the construction and burn have fallen to poor. What a shame, for a once truly great full bodied cigar. It gives me no pleasure to rant about a cigar, that years ago, I would have defended as one of, if not the best cigars, I had ever experience; but, no more.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Churchill by Dave of Kentucky on March 1, 2007Consistently Enjoyable!If you want a cigar that is going to give you the same quality burn, taste, and overall enjoyment, Hoyos live up to the reputation. Both the natural and maduro wrappers are winners. There are cigars that taste great, but you have to fight with it to burn correctly and vice versa. It is nice to have a cigar that you know will give you enjoyment every time- and for a very attractive price. The 5-pack deals are absolutely sweet!
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Rothschilds by Eric D. of Woodbine, MD on December 17, 2006Toss out your vanity & Don't spill the beansLooking for a panatela sized smoke that's flavorful, consistant, and downright economical? > Considering draw, construction, burn, etc - These little sticks are worth 3 times the price. Don't burn your fingers!!!
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Petit by Larry of U.P. on November 9, 2006Great smoke, not so harshThis is a great smaller cigar with plenty of taste yet not so harsh like other smaller sized brands. Great burn ,great price,very fine wrapper. Will buy again with no regrets.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Petit by Doug of PA on September 13, 2006Blah and tough drawOne of a sampler. Unimpressive. Tight draw and a hint of perfume -- indicating a young cigar even though it had been in my humidor for about a month. Not a bad smoke just nothing special.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Robusto by JBP of California on August 20, 2006This cigar is awsomeThis cigar burns slow and has a rich flavor. I passed a few cigars to my buddies and they loved them as well.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey President by Jaime Vera of Tallil, Iraq on August 17, 2006Rich, flavorful, strong, but unevenThe rich aroma before lighting promised a rich flavor, which it delivered from the first puff, with a medium to full earthy flavor. The appearance was excellent, but the construction slightly off center and as a result, the burn was uneven, accentuated by a wrapper of asymmetric and varying thickness. This distracted from the experience as the cigar progressed, and after the half way point, the flavor became a bit too thick. Perhaps a shorter stick would be better (at least for me.) The ash was excellent, white and solid, until the off center burn, at which time the shape curved off to the side. All in all, a decent, rich, somewhat heavier smoke. As a note, the "Churchill" is really a Lonsdale at 6.25 x 45.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Churchill by Overworked of CA on February 1, 2006Disappointed - sortaMaybe I was expecting too much because of the name. The HdM maduro churchhills (5) I smoked were all a wimpy ho-hum. Not bad, just not really satisfying or particularly tasty and the draw left a bit to be desired in most of them. Like a lot of other maduro cigars, they can't hold a candle to Padrons or Sancho Panzas.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Churchill by Jim Moore of Central Florida on August 14, 2005Great tasting smooth cigar. Very even burn.This is a great tasting smooth cigar with an even burn that won't take all day to smoke. Great cigar, great price.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Double Corona by Pasquale Conte of New Jersey on July 14, 2005Great little smoke!The Oscuro is a great tasting, full but not over-powering cigar. Great flavor, and for the price of 2 bucks a stick, you can't beat it. You can find a better cigar for five times the price, but I'll guarantee you it won't be 5 times as good as this gem.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Rothschilds by Reuben Bmoutje-Bmoutje of Quatar on October 29, 2004Draw is impossible and cigar is way too strong.I tried the Sabrosos, both natural & Maduro. I only found two out of 50 that would draw satisfactorily and all were way too strong, kind of like the grapevine I used to smoke as a kid. With Hoyos, BIGGER is better.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Sabrosos by Harold G. Walter of Memphis, TN on October 18, 2004Inconsistent boxesI bought a box of these and they were fantastic, great draw, great flavor and even burn. I enjoyed them so much I bought a second box- oops big mistake. The cigars in the second box are rolled so tight they are unsmokable. After 5 or 6 cigars I was forced to trash the rest of the box. Lesson learned.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Sabrosos by Joe of Oregon on October 14, 2004A most satisfying little smoke !Suprisingly full of rich flavours for a small cigar. Good burn,nice draw and very pleasant aroma. Great little cigar if you want a quick smoke. I will definately buy these again.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Petit by George of Perth,Western Australia on July 10, 2004Proof size doesn't matter!Awesome Hoyo taste with a price that can't be beat. Don't let the small ring gauge fool you, these will satisfy. I usually smoke them on my commute home. Consistent with a suprisingly slow burn. Hoyo doesn't make a bad cigar, and with the Sabrosos, you get a respected brand for a bundle price.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Sabrosos by Matt of Cigar City, Florida on June 25, 2004One of the best cigars ever had.For the price this is one of the best cigars I have ever smoked. It brings me to a place in which I can relax and be at peace to the world. And now of days..We all need that....
To all a good Smoke

This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Corona by Paul M.Woeller of Arkansas,USA on May 14, 2004Garden of EdenI have smoked a lot of cigars..some good some bad. But these are by far my favorite.I'm not well off but if I could I'd smoke 4 or 5 a day. They are like a Garden of Eden filled with the power to bring tranquility to one living in troubled times. I recommend this so very highly.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Super Hoyos by Paul of Arkansas on January 31, 2004A REAL NICE LITTLE CIGARGot a box awhile ago and enjoy everyone of them. Good flavor, great construction, nice slow burn. Even gave some away, they liked them to. I would recommend them to anyone.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Sabrosos by owenthecat1 of on November 9, 2003Delightful but no punchWonderful cigar, burns well smells and look great but i had a hard time with the draw, i still enjoyed the smoke..
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Corona by Mario of Queens on November 8, 2003Nothing in words can explain the flavor and aromaIve smoked 10 and 12 dollar cigars there is nothing I can say wrong about hoyos
What a great stogey get the double Maduro and you will be in heaven.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Governor by Dan Vitale of Stewartsville, New Jersey on August 26, 2003All-in-all Great Smoke. Can't beat the taste!Bought a box of the Sabrosos. Out of the whole box, I only had a one or two that seemed to want to fall apart. The rest of them were perfect and consistant. Great Hoyo taste and a great value.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Sabrosos by Daniel Graham of Oklahoma City, OK on July 8, 2003Good Taste, Bad ConstructionThe Summary says it all, the Largo Elegan delivers the same great consistant Hoyo taste and a great draw but the business end more times than not un-ravels. Be careful to use a very light touch with the lighter or the burn is really bad.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Largo Elegante by DAR of Seattle WA on February 10, 2003Great FlavorGreat Flavor - Burned a little at the end - this and the Sultan are great medium cigars - hard to beat on flavor
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Governor by Mike of California on February 1, 2003Amazing value for the priceThe Sabrosos have been a staple in my humidor for a long time and have never disappointed me. Is it my imagination or are they better constructed now than they used to be. Best of all, my wife loves the smell of them and enjoys kissing me after I smoke one. : )
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Sabrosos by Dick Richardson of Seattle, WA on November 21, 2002Good Taste, Rotten ConstructionI received a Hoyo in a sampler and enjoyed the smoke, so I committed to buying a box. The taste was as fine as I remember, but the heads and caps of the cigars were cracked, peeling, and looked like a first of the summer sunburn. All in all, very disappointing.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Churchill by S James of Johnstown, Co on November 20, 2002the best little cigar I ever smoked.i cannot find abetter cigar for the money great taste and
good draw.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Sabrosos by marty defranco of roseto,pa on September 29, 2002Great everyday cigar.Recently discovered this cigar. I Since have switched as my everyday smoke. Great taste and good construction.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Rothschilds (Cello) by K Hudson of Alexandria, LA on September 26, 2002Powerful, incredible smokeHaven't had one of these in a long time, and was pleasantly shocked when the powerful blast of earth and burnt coffee hit me. Good God I had forgotten how good these are. Going to have to order a box of 'em.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Rothschilds by Anthony of Brooklyn, NY on June 6, 2002Looks are deceivingVisually appealing but ultimately disappointing. A brutally tight draw tested my patience and I ultimately gave-up on it half way through. Too bad, not nearly as consistant as most of Hoyo's other offerings.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Churchill by Dr. Turd of Shoreline,CT on May 17, 2002The cigar that people compliment.....I have been purchasing Hoyo De Monterrey Coronas for some time. Last week they were out of coronas so I tried the Governor. What a great taste & aroma! My friends always compliment the aroma of this fine cigar. Consistent burn & draw, more so than the corona. Maduro is the way to go!
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Governor by John D. of Bethlehem, PA on April 19, 2002Awesome maduro for your money!!!!Excalibur maduros are my favorite cigar by far, but I decided to buy a box of Hoyo governors, and for the money they rival my Excaliburs!!!!! Not to say they are the same smoke, but for 60 bucks a box you can't go wrong!!
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Governor by Matt Sorensen of Brighton, Colorado on December 11, 2001Excellent everyday smokeThis little guy has become my touchstone smoke. I smoke a variety of cigars but always come back to the Hoyo Rothschild Maduro. Well made. Full flavor but not harsh. Great smoke at any price; Excellent smoke for two bucks.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Rothschilds (Cello) by JDPeek of Dallas,TX on June 29, 2001A BIt Disappointed, but still a believerI fell in love with the Hoya De Monterrey Cafe Royale just a few months ago. I purchased them from a local smoke shop and found them full of flavor with a good draw. THey are great for relaxing after a hard day or just to puff with friends. I order from famous and i think the delayed shipping time dryed them out. They were unwrapping and had a vegtable taste. But i will continue to smoke there relaxing stogies.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Cafe Royale by D. Chris Ramsey of Arkansas on May 16, 2001My all day favorite !This is the one that started it all. I smoked a Tiparillo 30 yrs ago,hated cigars since. 6 months ago a friend gave me a Hoyo dbl corona. 4 humidors,124 different cigars and a lot of $ i still smoke 3 of these every day. The best cigar for the $ there is. Many boxs later i have yet to find a bad one. The maduro is great also.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Double Corona by WAYNE of Tampa on May 9, 2001Great Tasting CigarI was surprise how great tasting this cigar was. A very easy draw, didn't burn too hot, and had a pleasant amora. I have already given some to my friends who loves them. Very affordable and a great every day stogie. Has now become my number one smoke. Plus, you get a humidifier jar to boot!
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Crystal Jar by Charles Burdick of Yokota Air Base, Japan on April 13, 2001good smokeThese are really a very nice smoke but just bit vegatal , I believe they need a bit of aging and I've been told that even after a month there is a significant improvement. but I would recommend them as an everyday smoke, with very slight construction and burn issues. all around good cigar!
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Rothschilds (Cello) by Irvin Rappaport of Minneapolis on April 6, 2001It doesn't get much better for Maduro kinsmen.Of all the Maduro's out there,this is 'old faithful'.It is always consistant,rich,and full. What a Maduro should be!.Always!
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Sultans by Lee Hasselman of Pa. on March 30, 2001...surprising...improve dramatically in humidorWhen I received my first box of these I was less than delighted. Due to this I tossed them in the humidor and ignored them for a week or two...to my surprise the cigars had lost much of the "vegetal" taste and were mild to strong with a sweet after taste, versus a bite. They burned more consistently and only improved with more time in a decent humidor. Knowing this, these are a steal for an everyday smoke. Granted the Rothchilds are superior but so is their price tag. I smoke both the sabrosas, rothchilds as well as fuente's and Cohiba's...and Romeo Y Julietta's when I can!
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Sabrosos by Daniel of ARIZONA on February 25, 2001A great cigar for the priceJust a great everyday cigar. Burns a little fast, but taste great.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Largo Elegante by Charles of Yokota Air Base, Japan on January 26, 2001I love the way it tastes, draws and burns.This cagar has become one if not the most favorite cigar that I have smoked. It makes me want to chew the smoke.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Governor by DEL WILLIAMS of ARNOLD, MO. on December 2, 2000excellent cigar with that morning CapuchinoFound two Cafe Royale's hidden in the bottom of one of my unused humidors for over five years. They were a great smoke and a very pleasant surprise paired with my Capuchino.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Cafe Royale by Ace Perlman of San Ramon, CA on November 28, 2000the best value for the $ aroundi'm a serious smoker and this is my everday and special occasion smoke. perfect complement to morning coffee or nightime scotch. though small in length, it never fails to satisfy. hoyo rothchilds are what cigar smoking is all about.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Rothschilds by dino of nyc on November 24, 2000good cigar, great price.First tried the Governors...the Excalibur Prensado and the #1. For the price, the Dbl Maduro is a great buy but I experienced a rather tight draw my last time around..unusual for an Hoyo de Monterey as construction is normally second to none.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Double Corona by tom of west coast on November 19, 2000Excellent Cigar, Incredible ValueAt under $2.00 a stick, this is a wonderful cigar. Excellent flavor, quality construction. It's not a Davidoff White Label an Avo or a Montecristo but it's mighty good and a much better value than any other cigar I've found.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Rothschilds by Greg Gottsacker of Minneapolis, MN on November 8, 2000Unbelievable value cigar!The Hoyo Rothchild maduro has to have the best combination of full-bodied taste, good draw and reasonable price on the market. My new favorite when I'm not smoking an Excalibur or a Gloria Cubana.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Rothschilds by Matthew DeCarlucci of Burlington, MA on November 3, 2000Great everyday smoke hard drawThe Churchill Mm is not as strong as a La Gloria Cubana, but the taste is excellent. I found the draw to be very tight and not at all comfortable. It is still a great everyday smoke.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Churchill by Lorne of Virginia on August 24, 2000Classic Villazon yummy to the nub!Rich, oily dark maduro in a big size. Excellent flavor, consistently so.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Churchill by Mike Ashton of San Francisco on July 25, 2000One of the best non-cubans available at any priceAs a "newcomer" to cigar smoking, I wanted to try the very best cigars made by the top companies including the cuban lines. Although the cuban Hoyo's are my favorite, it is very hard to be disappointed with this cigar. My top choice.
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey President by Walter Pilgrim of San Francisco, CA on July 18, 2000description says natural, but its maduroone-line summary says it all
This review was written about Hoyo De Monterrey Crystal Jar by john f muller of new orleans la on July 11, 2000Highly Recommended SmokeIf you're not a maduro fan, this cigar will change your mind. Great dark oily appearance makes your mouth water just looking at it. Nice easy draw and great aromas. I never had a bad Hoyo. If you want flavors: Smoked Nuts, Chocolate and Burnt Coffee. If you got 20-30 minutes, whip one of these puppies out with a awesome cup of Java, and get lost for a while. Then go try the Hoyo Excaliber MM. WOW!
