Hoyo de Monterrey (Cuba) Short Hoyo Coronas

This pile of junk canoed on me 1/3 way in, and that was after 3 months in my perfect-condition humidor! No depth to speak of and very plain in the flavor department, but it is tough to really gauge a cigar after only 1/3 has been smoked. Will pass next time.

I tried a pair of these and one was literally as hard as a rock. Several months at 65% didn't help. Course when I tried to smoke it .. no go. The other was from a different box and smoked pretty good ... nothing spectacular but a nice little cuban. I won't chase more of these down.

I bought one of these in Jamaica and smoked it at the resort there (Sandals Ochio Rios). This was a veiny little critter with a rather rough construction. Smoked great , though. This was absolutely the strongest cigar I ever smoked in my life, even more so than a Cuban Romeo Churchill. My wife had to take me down to the water to sober up because I was wobbling all over the place. It was like this stick was laced with heroin. The flavor was great but the overdose of lithium or whatever in this stick kinda ruined it.

Bought a box in Chile. Looks were imperfect (like many-a cubans), not to say that's a bad thing, green coloration spots on 50% of them. Pretty matte, medium bodied. Didn't blow me away with any uniqueness, probably wouldn't buy a box again, but wouldn't pass one up either for the right value.
