Hoyo de Monterrey Double Coronas - 25 cigars

Product Review (submitted on August 17, 2011):

This is a great and formidable contender for Best of Class in this size. Allow me to list all its credits and merits to the best of my ability:

It is a beautiful cigar that has a look of total refinement with its oily, mahogany-colored wrapper that has a slight reddish hue. It is such a stunning work of art that you will want to sit and admire its mesmerizing good looks for minutes upon minutes before lighting it.

Once lit, the tantalizing aroma and complex taste that it imparts immediately, are completely spellbinding and all-encompassing. It's all you will think about for the next hour or more.

This cigar possesses one of the most unique Cuban cigar flavor profiles out there. It reminds one of fresh ground coffee beans, hot cocoa with marshmallows, toffee, woodiness, and a very slight infusion of the normal earthiness found in a great many Habanos. If you are extremely diligent in your observation, you may even find a striking similarity to a single-barrel bourbon, however, it eludes the senses easily.

This is definitely one cigar that you should place high on your list, and despite the cost, smoke it as often as you possible can. Truly a memorable experience.
