Hoyo de Dan Juan - Cab 25 June 22
First smoke from this cab, wonderful dark chocolate smell on the 25 feet bundled all together.
Intensive Cold draw with sweet & salty notes on the lips, hint of white pepper and cream chocolate.
Real Hoyo DNA on the first puff with cappuccino & cream, albeit light bodied compared to the strong cold draw, expressing light bitter notes overall.
Great & smooth draw, perfect construction until the middle of the first third, that I had to ash & relight twice, having to over-puff then, leading the cigar to heat a little too much; it maybe prevented the vitola from any interesting evolution in its flavour profile.
Very elegant to start with, it left me a little on hanging in the air until the last third that recovered with more intensity and balance, in an overall milk & cream tone.
I wish it told me more of a consistent story.
7/10

241. Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo Río Seco
2019-01-16/ ANDREDIAS95
Store bought at Mellgrens Fine Tobacco.
Location: This review was made indoors in Mellgrens cigar lounge.
Information: Hoyo de Monterrey brand was born in the plantation of the same name in San Juan y Martínez * (P.A.O.), in the heart of the Vuelta Abajo * (P.A.O.) region.
Hoyo de Monterrey is located on the fertile land along the banks of the river that runs through San Juan y Martínez.
All tobacco in the cigar is from Cuba.
Size: 5.5×56, Aromosos
Wrapper: Milk chocolate, oily and silky smooth with super tiny veins.
Construction: Firm even feel all over when lightly squeezed.
Cold draw: Cedarwood.
1st third: Starts of creamy whipped cream, soft hint of burning cedarwood and bread.
2nd third: Some hints of spice in the background, otherwise very smooth.
Burn: Burns steady but a bit wonky, stable white/gray ash.
Smoke: Light smoke, cool feeling on the tongue and a medium tight draw.
3rd third: Keeps the same smooth flavours from previous parts.
Duration: 16:10-18:10 2h.
Conclusion: A mild bodied cigar with a mild strength profile. For being a new release from Habanos this cigar is very enjoyable, smooth and creamy flavours, sadly I don’t see how this can improve over time since it doesn’t have a complex profile.
Result: In my book this is an 91 point cigar.
