Don José Gener y Batet was a Catalan Spaniard who immigrated to Cuba in 1831 at the age of thirteen. He worked on his uncle’s plantation in Vuelta Abajo. Around 1850, he moved to Havana to establish a factory and his own cigar brand:
La Escepcion
The brand achieved great success in the 1860s, José Gener used the capital obtained to buy the plantation
“Hoyo de Monterrey”
located in the heart of the famous Vuelta Abajo in
San Juan y Martinez
. In Spanish, “Hoyo” means hole and “Hoyo de Monterrey” means Monterrey hole. A perfectly fitting term for this Vega, which extends below the banks of the river that irrigates

San Juan y Martinez

. The area was renowned for producing the best Cuban tobacco at the time.

José Jenner’s Hoyo de Monterrey cigar brand was registered in 1865, at the address of his factory on 7th Avenue

Principe Alfonso

Havana. These cigars, made with sweet and aromatic ingredients, quickly achieved international success and were very popular in England.

Don José Jenner y Batet returned to Spain in 1895 and died in 1900. His daughter, Lutgarda Jenner, took over the thriving family business. At the time, the

Hoyo de Monterrey

factory was the largest in Cuba, employing no fewer than 350 workers.

After José Jérôme’s death, demand for cigarettes declined. The family focused more on sugarcane plantations than tobacco plantations. In 1931, the brand

Hoyo de Monterrey

along with

La Escepcion

was sold to the company

Fernandez Palicio y Ca

. The company was founded by Ramón Fernández and Fernando Palicio, who already owned the two brands Punch and Belinda.

When Ramón Fernández died in 1948, Fernando Palicio took over the business and founded

Fernandez, Palicio et Cia S.A.

, where he was the sole owner. At the time of the revolution, the company was still located at 51 Máximo Gómez Avenue, with its many brands including

Hoyo de Monterrey,

Punch, La Escepcion, Belinda and many others. The company accounted for 13% of Cuban cigarette exports in 1958.

After the revolution, production of Hoyo de Monterrey cigars, such as Punch and La Escepcion, continued uninterrupted. They remain just as popular with enthusiasts. There are two reasons why pre-Castro Cuban cigars are selling for such high prices at auction. They are becoming increasingly rare (the global stock is getting smaller every time one is lit) and in many cases they have become extraordinary cigars. For example: Consider the Hoyo de Monterrey Corona from the mid-1950s. It’s not very large, only 5.5 inches long and with a slim 42-gauge ring, but this 60-year-old cigar is full of flavor, just a touch of earthiness balanced by a vibrant blend of sweet spices. It scored a near-perfect 99. A much larger (and much younger) Hoyo, the Royal Hunt No. 10

It was ranked next with a score of 98.

The cigar sample in the Pasargad Hoyo De Monterrey Corona collection is from the old production of 1998, which makes it a valuable gem among the cigars in the collection.

We recommend that you definitely try it and treat yourself to the pleasure of smoking an old, quality Cuban cigar.
