Popular Post JohnS Posted September 6, 2019 Popular Post Posted September 6, 2019 Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de Rio Seco ABO Mar 2019 I finally got my chance to smoke this new Le Hoyo line release, thanks to our generous host offering quarter pack options on 24:24 and providing multiple instances of many (24:24) listings recently. According to those recent listings, El Pres has asserted that the Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo Rio de Seco is possibly the hottest new release selling cigar right now for Habanos S.A. After smoking this today, I believe it. Before I discuss the flavours let me discuss the dimensions of this cigar. Yes, it's 56 ring gauge but the 140 mm length belies how big it is, when I got my quarter pack I remarked to myself that I distinctly remember the Le Hoyo de San Juan, despite being 54 ring gauge, being bigger. I think the fact that the San Juan is 10 mm longer makes it seem bigger. Also, after having a Punch 48 recently, which is also 140 mm in length (and is around a coronas size in length), I felt that the Punch 48 was also a lot smaller than what it was! El Pres consistently mentions in his 24:24 listings that young Rio de Seco has a gingerbread spice and cream characteristic to it. I confidently concur with this view. Unlike other Le Hoyo line cigars, the cedar or 'woodiness' in this is diminished and the cream and sweetness is more amplified for its age, in comparison. The San Juan also had more tea notes and a crispy 'toastiness' to its flavours when young for me, this cigar was not like that. Instead it had a very strong ginger and licorice-type sweetness, cream, a hint of cedar and a little cloved spice. I had no issue nubbing it. So overall, this is another quality release for Habanos S.A. I'm inclined to let my other Rio de Seco rest for some time to allow the creamy texture to take over but if you are inclined to enjoy them young, then I suggest you do so. 21
