These cigars are crafted exclusively for the network of La Casa del Habano stores around the world, making them a sought-after choice for cigar connoisseurs. The Elegantes is a testament to Hoyo de Monterrey's rich heritage in producing fine Cuban cigars since 1865. Its distinct presentation and limited availability make it an enticing addition to the brand's portfolio, catering to the desires of aficionados seeking something extraordinary.

It boasts a long and slender format, measuring at around 7.1 inches (180mm) in length with a 47 ring gauge. The cigar is meticulously constructed, with a smooth, oily wrapper leaf that envelops a blend of premium Cuban tobacco.

Before igniting the Hoyo de Monterrey Elegantes, you can expect to encounter a fragrant pre-light aroma characterized by a subtle blend of earthy and woody notes. Upon lighting, the first third of the cigar typically unveils a refined combination of cedar and leather, hallmark flavors of Cuban tobacco. As you progress through the smoke, a gentle spiciness may develop, complemented by a creamy texture that harmonizes the experience. In the second third, the cigar often introduces notes of roasted coffee and dark chocolate, providing complexity and depth to the palate. The final third may showcase a stronger profile, finishing with a bold, full-bodied character and a slightly heightened spiciness, leaving a memorable and lasting impression.

A cigar for aficionados enjoying taking time to smoke. This Perfecto produces dense smoke, with an easy draw after a couple of puffs and constant construction, resulting in a even burn. With its amazingly looking brown oily wrapper, although a little veiny, this Cuban cigar releases strong aromas from leather to almonds. One can distinguish leather, cinnamon, and creamy oak notes, among other flavors throughout the thirds. This limited edition for LCDH is one not to miss!
