About the Hoyo De Monterrey Double Coronas Gran Reserva Cosecha 2013
Hoyo de Monterrey has built its reputation on refined, aromatic blends, and this release marks a milestone for the marque: it is the first Hoyo de Monterrey ever to earn the prestigious Gran Reserva designation. Unveiled at the XXI Habanos Festival in 2019, the cigar takes the brand’s iconic Double Coronas format and fills it with leaves drawn from the 2013 harvest, a vintage that was rested for several years before rolling. Presented in lacquered, numbered boxes of fifteen with a limited run of just 5,000 cases, it is a piece aimed squarely at collectors and patient smokers.
Flavor profile by thirds
The opening third is gentle and inviting, leaning into the cedar and light spice that define the Hoyo character, with a creamy texture that coats the palate. Through the middle, the smoke gains confidence and complexity, layering roasted nuts, soft leather, and a recurring sweetness reminiscent of honey and vanilla. By the final third the cigar has built toward the upper end of its mild to medium range, the nutty and woody core deepening while keeping that signature roundness rather than turning sharp or heavy.
Pairings
An aged Cuban rum, whose caramel and oak echo the cigar’s honeyed sweetness
A lightly peated single malt for those who want a gentle smoky counterpoint
A cup of espresso or rich black coffee to lift the roasted nut notes
Aging and storage
Although the tobacco was already matured before release, this is a cigar that rewards further patience. Kept at roughly 65 to 70 percent relative humidity and around 18 degrees Celsius, the blend will continue to marry and soften, with the spice mellowing and the sweeter notes coming forward over the years. Store the box flat in a well seasoned humidor, away from light and temperature swings, and rotate occasionally so each cigar ages evenly.
Who it is for
This is a cigar for the collector and the unhurried connoisseur rather than the quick smoke. Its generous Double Corona dimensions call for a free hour or more, and its limited, numbered production makes it as much a keepsake as a smoke. If you appreciate the elegant, aromatic side of Cuban tobacco and want a landmark Hoyo de Monterrey in your humidor, this Gran Reserva belongs on your shortlist.
