Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo De San Juan in Dubai

Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de San Juan is the largest ring gauge in the brand’s Le Hoyo series, a range historically known for shorter, thinner cigars until this size broke the pattern. It’s handmade at Havana’s La Corona factory using Seco and Ligero leaves grown exclusively in San Juan y Martínez, the Vuelta Abajo town the cigar is named after. See the full Hoyo de Monterrey range if you want to compare it against the brand’s Grand Epicure or standard Epicure sizes.

At 5⅞ inches with a 54 ring gauge, it delivers roughly an hour of smoking time. Browse our premium cigars category for the rest of the Cuban lineup.

What Does Le Hoyo de San Juan Taste Like?

Le Hoyo de San Juan opens with cedar and sweet cream, developing into honey, vanilla, and toasted almond, with floral spice and cocoa notes building through the middle before a smooth, lingering finish. It runs medium in strength, approachable enough for a wide range of smokers while still offering real complexity across the hour-long smoke.

If you want a fuller, richer alternative from the same brand, Hoyo de Monterrey Grand Epicure carries a darker maduro wrapper and more strength.

How to Enjoy Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de San Juan

Cut just above the cap with a sharp guillotine, then light evenly around the whole foot before drawing slowly. Given the roughly hour-long smoke time, pace yourself rather than rushing through the early cedar and honey notes.

Store it in a humidor at 65-70% relative humidity beforehand. It pairs well with an aged rum or a light whisky if you’re settling in for the full session.
