Hoyo de Monterrey owes its origin to the plantation of the same name located in San Juan y Martínez
The Hoyo de Monterrey Destinos Travel Humidor is a sophisticated, limited release designed exclusively for duty-free and travel retail markets. Each humidor contains 20 hand-rolled cigars in the unique "Sutiles" vitola - measuring 5 3/4 inches (145 mm) with a 49 ring gauge - a format introduced for the first time in the Cuban cigar portfolio. Crafted with select tobaccos from Cuba’s renowned Vuelta Abajo region, Destinos cigars offer a light-to-medium strength profile and are presented in an elegant, portable wooden humidor that ensures optimal preservation and convenience for the traveling aficionado. The Destinos was unveiled at the prestigious TFWA World Exhibition & Conference in 2023, highlighting its status as a rare and collectible item for discerning cigar enthusiasts. The name Destinos refers to the journey the tobacco leaf must go through to become a fine cigar. From the planting of seeds in the rich, fertile soils of the Vuelta Abajo region to the expert rolling by skilled torcedores, every stage is represented in this celebratory edition. As a special edition, only a small number of boxes have been produced, making this cigar not only a fine smoking experience but also a rare collector's item for true connoisseurs. The Destinos stay true to Hoyo de Monterrey's signature mild-to-medium strength, perfect for smokers who prefer a more delicate and balanced experience.
Founded in 1865 by Don José Gener y Batet, Hoyo de Monterrey is one of Cuba’s most historic and cherished cigar brands. The brand’s name, meaning “the Hole of Monterrey,” refers to the low-lying, fertile land along the San Juan y Martinez river in the heart of the Vuelta Abajo region - Cuba’s premier tobacco-growing area. Gener, a Spanish immigrant, invested decades in perfecting his plantation and cigar craft, quickly establishing Hoyo de Monterrey as a favourite among British and European cigar enthusiasts. Over the years, the brand has become synonymous with elegance, aromatic complexity, and a lighter, refined flavour profile, making it a top choice for those seeking sophistication without overwhelming strength.
