From JR Cigar:
Hoyo de Monterrey is a legendary Cuban marquee, however, since the early 1970's, this brand has been crafted in Honduras by Villazon's master maker, Estelo Padron, and it has become a legend in its own right. Beginning with tobacco seeds smuggled out of Cuba in a diplomatic pouch, this was the first true Habana-style cigar made outside of Cuba. For three plus decades, this full-flavored, earthy smoke has been the cigar of choice for those who crave old-world-style Habanas.

Notes:

Well Lew wasn't just "blowin' smoke" on this one. This was a very nice well made, clean burning little robusto. It had a great woody flavor and gave up tons of smoke. The draw was easy almost too easy, which I think is why it burned so fast. I'm not sure but I think this bundled version is a short-filler stick. Nonetheless it's a really tasty smoke.
