Hoyo Cigars, an original Cuban brand, have been produced in Honduras for the U.S. market since 1969. Referred to as "the authentic Honduran", their rich flavor comes from a balanced blend of long-fillers from Honduras, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic, with a Connecticut broadleaf binder, wrapped in Ecuadorian Sumatra or dark U.S. Connecticut Broadleaf wrappers. It was founded in 1865 by Don José Gener, a respected Cuban tobacco grower. The brand was popular in Great Britain. After Gener's death in 1900, his daughter Lutgarda took over until 1930. Then the Gener family sold the brands to Fernandez, Palicio y Cía.
Wrapper: Connecticut Shade. Filler: Honduran, Nicaraguan, Dominican (Piloto Cubano). Binder: Connecticut Broadleaf. -- The history: Introduced in the 1970s, Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur quickly made its mark as a super-premium cigar with an appealing price. To name but one of its many admirers, The Robb Report has recognized Excalibur as one of the world's five greatest cigars. The cigar: An extremely well constructed medium to full bodied cigar, Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur is a superb example of Honduran craftsmanship. Lighter in color than a Cuban cigar as a result of its fine Connecticut Shade wrapper, this cedar-aged cigar is made with a rich Honduran blend that is very much in the Cuban tradition.
