Hoyo Oscuro

Sometimes I read the crap below and wonder who comes up with these tasting notes.  I mean, really, chewing tobacco and seared meat? I don’t know about you, but if I wanted chewing tobacco, I’d buy chewing tobacco. If I wanted seared meat, I’d barbecue!

I won’t rant on, but I will tell you that both cigars are excellent. The new Hoyo Rojo and Oscuro are delicious, medium bodied, medium + cigars featuring beautiful wrappers and a perfect, balanced blend. The price point is attractive, and it offers a quality smoke in a very affordable price bracket. Not every new cigar has to be $10 or more. Hoyo de Monterrey is one of the cigar industry’s legacy brands and this latest version won’t disappoint.

OSCURO | This heady blend is anchored by the Brazilian Mata Fina oscuro wrapper, a first for Hoyo de Monterrey. The subtle sweetness from the Brazilian oscuro wrapper is complimented by spicy Dominican, Honduran and Nicaraguan Seco and ligeros bound with the omni present sharpness of Ecuadorian Sumatra leaf. This blend is crafted to be more medium + than the Rojo but equally as balanced and enjoyable. Reminiscent tasting notes associated with Oscuro are cherry cola, cayenne pepper, white pepper, molasses, and rye bread.
