Origin and Basics
The Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona is from Cuba. It has a double corona format, with a size of 194 x 19.45 mm, a ring of 49, and a weight of 17.86 g. It is hand - made and priced at around $20 per piece.
Appearance
The cigar has a smooth, oily, and glossy wrapper.
Construction
It has a perfect burn from light to finish. There is a smooth and even draw, and it has a firm yet spongy feel.
Flavor
- One third: The light - up offers roasted wood and hickory flavors with a tiny hint of sweetness.
- Two thirds: It gives a stinging sensation and pairs well with coffee.
- Three thirds: It is a bit too strong, especially towards the last hit, but the first two thirds make it worthwhile.
Value
It is a pricey cigar, but suitable for those who like a hearty smoke.
It's a long - lasting one - hour cigar. It's not for mornings and is best smoked with a hearty chaser. Beginners may want to let it age in the humidor before trying.
