Hoyo de Monterrey Regalos Edición Limitada 2007

92 points, Cigar Aficionado

Celebrating the 70th Annivesary of the Hoyo de Monterrey brand, this cigar was released by Habanos S.A in the Edición Limitada program, making it one of the most popular brands during its first 13 years of existence.

The name ‘Regalos’ translates to ‘present’ in Spanish, its crafted in a robusto format measuring 5 ⅓ ” x 46 and encased with carefully selected tobaccos aged for a minimum of two years before crafted into a cigar. Dressed in a pleasingly dark chocolate brown wrapper with a beautiful oily sheen, packed with enticing aromas upon unboxing.

Once lit, the Regalos delivers a smooth yet intense sensation with hints of wood, leather and spice. Laced with spicier notes towards the final third with flavours of white pepper and underlying notes of oak and salted caramel sweetness. As the cigar progresses, the flavours become more intense, and the smoke becomes more complex.

This is a limited and numbered edition that is best enjoyed on special occasions or as a gift for a fellow cigar enthusiast. Its rarity and exclusivity make it a must-try for any serious collector of Cuban cigars.
