In August 2015, Habanos S.A. announced the cigar it would be releasing for 2016. Included in this list were two La Casa del Habano store exclusives, the Hoyo de Monterrey Elegantes and the Punch Punch 48. I detailed the history of the LCDH exclusive program in my review of the H.Upmann Royal Robusto: In 2004, Habanos S.A. released the first in what would eventually become a regular occurrence, exclusives for the Habanos-licensed La Casa del Habano retailer. These releases are only sold to La Casa del Habano stores around the world and are usually limited to one or two different cigars per year. When the program started, the cigars were just different vitolas produced in unlimited quantities, but since 2011, the policy has shifted to each release being a limited production. The Hoyo de Monterrey Elegantes is a 6 1/4 (158mm) x 47 perfecto that will be sold in boxes of 10 when it is released. This is the second Hoyo de Monterrey to be named an LCDH exclusive, after the Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure de Luxe was announced in 2012.
