Hoyo de Monterrey Cigars
Hoyo de Monterrey operates as a Cuban cigar manufacturer established in the 1860s by José Gener. The brand derives its name from its original plantation in Vuelta Abajo's tobacco region, with "Hoyo" referencing the river-adjacent lowland location of the estate. All cigars use long filler tobacco and remain entirely handmade.
