Hoyo de Tradicion

Hoyo de Monterrey’s most recent line of cigars, Hoyo de Tradicion, are my new favorite smoke and I have yet to find any serious flaw with them. They’re complex, aromatic cigars that really hit the spot. You’ll find that they’re full of flavor, but not at all overwhelming. I tried the Hoyo de Tradicion on a recommendation from an employee (or maybe the owner–he’s there all the time) at C and C tobacco outlet in Ithaca, NY (on Rt 13 N. Meadow St). They rennovated the inside a couple of years ago and have a great humidore and selection. Pretty decent for a small town. But back to the Hoyo, it’s worth a try and definitely worth the price, about $5-6 for the Epicure (5.24×5).

Wrapper: EMS

Filler: Honduran, Dominican, and Nicaraguan

Fun Fact: The line was created to celebrate the history of the Hoyo de Monterrey cigar brand, one of the oldest still around.
