Hoyo de Monterrey Palmas Extra

From José Gener to Zino Davidoff, over a hundred years of cigar history unfold. The story begins with a Catalan, formidably ambitious and as autocratic as a tsar. José Gener was 13 when he immigrated to Cuba. He was 33 when, in 1851, he joined forces with his uncle to found his first factory and create a new brand, La Escepción. Gener bought a famous vega, Hoyo de Monterrey, located in the municipality of San Juan y Martinez, whose gate can still be seen today. In 1867, he broke with his uncle and, with his brothers, founded the José Gener company and launched the Hoyo de Monterrey label, whose rings sometimes bore the customer's coat of arms. Three years later, there was another break-up: José Gener remained in sole charge, and his brothers were demoted to the rank of mere employees. For the next thirty years, José Gener was at the head of José Gener y Batet, which marketed Hoyo de Monterrey, José Gener and La Escepción to the American market. When he died in 1900, the Hoyo de Monterrey factory was the largest in Cuba.

The Hoyo de Monterrey Palmas Extra is a cigar of great finesse, appreciated for its smoothness and elegance. Ideal for aficionados seeking a subtle experience, it offers a light smoke with delicate woody notes, complemented by floral and creamy touches. Perfect for a daytime break, it pairs beautifully with a coffee or a quiet moment, never overpowering the palate. A refined choice for those who enjoy mild cigars with real flavour.
