Product description
About this cigar
Hoyo is a real place, not a flourish. José Gener founded the brand in 1860 at his plantation in San Juan y Martínez, and the gateway still reads Hoyo de Monterrey. José Gener. 1860. In Vuelta Abajo a hoyo is a low riverside hollow, the ground growers prize most. Entirely hand-rolled with long filler.

Frequently asked
Common questions
What is the difference between the Epicure No. 1 and No. 2?
The Epicure No. 1 is a Cervantes (5 3/4" × 46), longer and slightly thinner than the No. 2 Robusto (4 7/8" × 50). The No. 1 produces a more gradual, nuanced smoke; the No. 2 is punchier and more concentrated.
Is this a good cigar for someone new to Cuban cigars?
Yes — it is one of the most recommended entry points into Cuban cigars. Its mild-medium strength is forgiving, the flavour profile is accessible, and the construction is consistently reliable.
Does the Epicure No. 1 age well?
Very well. The mild-medium body and creamy base profile develop additional complexity over 2–4 years in a properly maintained humidor. Many collectors age these deliberately.
