\nDon Jos\u00e9 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:
\nLa Escepcion
\nThe brand achieved great success in the 1860s, Jos\u00e9 Gener used the capital obtained to buy the plantation
\n“Hoyo de Monterrey”
\nlocated in the heart of the famous Vuelta Abajo in
\nSan Juan y Martinez
\n. 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<\/p>\n
San Juan y Martinez<\/p>\n
. The area was renowned for producing the best Cuban tobacco at the time.<\/p>\n
Jos\u00e9 Jenner’s Hoyo de Monterrey cigar brand was registered in 1865, at the address of his factory on 7th Avenue<\/p>\n
Principe Alfonso<\/p>\n
Havana. These cigars, made with sweet and aromatic ingredients, quickly achieved international success and were very popular in England.<\/p>\n
Don Jos\u00e9 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<\/p>\n
Hoyo de Monterrey<\/p>\n
factory was the largest in Cuba, employing no fewer than 350 workers.<\/p>\n
After Jos\u00e9 J\u00e9r\u00f4me’s death, demand for cigarettes declined. The family focused more on sugarcane plantations than tobacco plantations. In 1931, the brand<\/p>\n
Hoyo de Monterrey<\/p>\n
along with<\/p>\n
La Escepcion<\/p>\n
was sold to the company<\/p>\n
Fernandez Palicio y Ca<\/p>\n
. The company was founded by Ram\u00f3n Fern\u00e1ndez and Fernando Palicio, who already owned the two brands Punch and Belinda.<\/p>\n
When Ram\u00f3n Fern\u00e1ndez died in 1948, Fernando Palicio took over the business and founded<\/p>\n
Fernandez, Palicio et Cia S.A.<\/p>\n
, where he was the sole owner. At the time of the revolution, the company was still located at 51 M\u00e1ximo G\u00f3mez Avenue, with its many brands including<\/p>\n
Hoyo de Monterrey,<\/p>\n
Punch, La Escepcion, Belinda and many others. The company accounted for 13% of Cuban cigarette exports in 1958.<\/p>\n
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\u2019s 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<\/p>\n
It was ranked next with a score of 98.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
We recommend that you definitely try it and treat yourself to the pleasure of smoking an old, quality Cuban cigar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
