A Hoyo Made In The Shade
A new Hoyo de Monterrey is coming very soon and it features a shade-grown wrapper from neither Connecticut nor Ecuador, but Honduras. Last year, General Cigar Co. celebrated the legacy of its non-Cuban Hoyo de Monterrey brand with the Rojo and Oscuro lines. Now, the company is following up with the Hoyo de Monterrey Shade, a mild cigar that will ship to retailers starting on June 2.
Made at the HATSA factory in Danlí, Honduras, the Hoyo de Monterrey Shade consists entirely of Honduran leaves, including its shade-grown wrapper. While the Rojo line is medium-bodied and Oscuro is stronger, Shade completes the trio and is much lighter in body than its predecessors.
The cigars are not only light in strength, but light on the wallet, as all three sizes have suggested retail prices of less than $9 each: Rothschild, measuring 4 1/2 by 50 ring gauge ($5.99); Toro, 6 by 52 ($7.49); and Gigante, 6 by 60 ($8.49). All sizes come in 10-count boxes.
