In early April, General Cigar Co. launched a new line to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Hoyo de Monterrey brand. Rolled at General Cigar’s factory in Honduras, the Hoyo de Monterrey Edición de Cumpleaños 150 is a 6 x 54 box-pressed toro that incorporates binder tobacco from Ecuador, fillers from Nicaragua and is covered in a proprietary habano shade wrapper grown in Estelí, Nicaragua. The press release has a bit more information on the release: The cigar is a study in contrasts, with a hearty, well-oiled leaf that burns to a strong, yet sweet smoke for an unparalleled taste experience.In a nod to the future of the brand, the cigars will be housed in a sleek, 15-count box bearing a modern interpretation of the Hoyo de Monterrey logo. The new limited edition release has a total production of 60,000 total cigars sold in boxes of 15, with each cigar selling for $7.99 and boxes retailing for $119.85.
