Hoyo de Monterrey Primaveras Year Of The Ox 2021

According to the Chinese zodiac, 2021 marks the Year of the Ox, and there’s a Cuban cigar made especially to commemorate the Chinese New Year, the Hoyo de Monterrey Primaveras. This new cigar fittingly had its global release in Hong Kong, in a virtual launch party engineered for today’s pandemic-ridden times. The cigar measures 6 5/8 inches by 48 ring gauge, a size known as Hermosos No. 1 in Cuban cigar factories.

Hoyo de Monterrey is one of the most prestigious brands of Habanos. Its origin goes back to the plantation of the same name located in San Juan y Martínez*, in the heart of Vuelta Abajo, without a doubt one of the most famous plantations (fertile lands) symbolizing the richness of the Cuban lands where the considered world’s best tobacco is grown. All of the brand’s vitolas are made “Totalmente a Mano con Tripa Larga”– Totally Handmade with Long Filler-, with leaves from the region of Pinar del Río, in the Vuelta Abajo area.
