Smoking Notes:

Before lighting up

At cold, the cigar greets the senses with notes of red cedar, black tea, and aged tobacco sweetness. Bringing it closer to the nose reveals subtle scents of hay, thyme, and toasted grains. The pre-draw is soft and balanced, releasing a refined aroma reminiscent of floral perfume, brown sugar, and delicate earth. When placed on the lips, the wrapper offers a creamy texture and a hint of spice — a clear preview of the sophistication that awaits once lit.

Burn/ Draw

After a clean cut, the Double Coronas Gran Reserva 2013 lights effortlessly. The draw is smooth and perfectly calibrated, producing generous plumes of aromatic smoke. The burn is straight and steady from the start, forming a firm, silvery ash that reflects the cigar’s exceptional construction. No relights, no corrections — just a cool, consistent burn that allows the cigar to express its full range of flavors with elegance.

Initial third:

The opening delivers a refined medley of sweet cedar, toasted nuts, and vanilla cream, supported by subtle undertones of floral honey and light molasses. The smoke is silky and voluminous, coating the palate in a gentle sweetness with faint hints of cocoa and cinnamon. The body rests at a comfortable mild-to-medium, showcasing the balance and finesse that Hoyo de Monterrey is known for. The ash clings tightly for several centimeters, snow-white and compact, adding to the cigar’s visual allure.

Middle third:

As the cigar settles, its complexity deepens. The sweetness mellows, giving way to richer notes of roasted coffee, hazelnut, and smooth leather. A hint of earth and subtle spice begins to appear, accompanied by a lingering creaminess that coats the tongue. The smoke remains abundant yet never overpowering, while the burn line stays steady and precise. Each puff feels deliberate and rewarding — a testament to the cigar’s masterful blend and perfect aging of the 2013 tobacco harvest.

Final third:

In the last act, the Gran Reserva 2013 grows more expressive. Dark chocolate, cedar, and roasted espresso take center stage, interlaced with gentle black pepper and a refined mineral touch. Despite the increased intensity, the draw remains cool and smooth, allowing the smoker to savor every final nuance. The cigar maintains its composure until the very end — no harshness, no bitterness — just the elegant evolution of aged Cuban tobacco at its peak.

The Hoyo de Monterrey Double Coronas Gran Reserva Cosecha 2013 is a masterpiece of refinement and depth, combining smoothness, balance, and exceptional craftsmanship. A cigar that already smokes magnificently today, it promises to become even richer and more harmonious with a few additional years of aging. Limited, collectible, and exquisitely complex — this is a must-have for connoisseurs seeking the purest expression of Cuban elegance.
