Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona (Habanos)

Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona (Habanos) We confess, this is one of, if not "the" cigar we would ask for if only given one.

Graycliff Interview at Top25Cigar.com The perfect combination is difficult to find. Apple pie and vanilla ice cream come to mind, as does daytime baseball at Wrigley Field. We at Top25Cigar are going to be bold enough to volunteer an additional "perfect combination" Graycliff Hotel and cigars. Following is our interview with Enrico Garzaroli (right), the heart and soul of Graycliff Hotel, and Avelino Lara (left), the storied cigar expert that helped him build the Graycliff cigar brand. Saturday Morning with the Padrons Top25Cigar contributor Rob Shibata spends a Saturday morning with the Padrons and finds out that one of the cigar industries leading families is truly that...a family. 3 Mexicans, 2 Gringos, 1 Cuban band, and many cigars... Our roving reporter, Rob Shibata again proves his innate ability to find a good time, and make long lasting friends.

(bad pun) Glad we got five people reviewing, or this would have been it. I confess, this is one of, if not "the" cigar I would ask for if only given one. The Hoyo DC's I've had have been magnificent. So when we decided March was going to be the month we got the first A+, I knew a trip to Canada was in order. I was obviously biased, but I kept my thoughts to myself, sure that the rest of the reviewers would verify my opinions. It didn't necessarily go that way. Glad they were a tad more objective than myself. We'll, were all allowed some faults. An "A" is pretty darn good, but I have a hard time seeing this cigar in the same category as the Montecristo Double Corona from the Dominican Republic. No slight on the Monte, but come on, this is the Cuban Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona for Castro's sake. Oh yeah, the review. Wrapper was gorgeous, everyone thinking it was "the bomb". A couple folk noted it was on the light side, and compared to the past, this was a bit light. Okay, maybe not A+ caliber, but I insist they were in the past! The Ash was only OK, I worry about the construction. Nobody's ash hung on for long, not a sin, but when combined with a few re-lights, it had some guys wondering why I was bragging this cigar up so. Please don't tell me the Cubans quality actually has fallen like I'm hearing. So now your wondering how this thing was even in the "A" category? Taste baby, that's what it's all about anyway. Throw away almost all the other rating criteria, if they keep you coming back for more, your hooked worse than a 14 year-old boy on Monday Night Nitro. FedEx the taste, these things delivered instantly. Smooth and familiar throughout the whole cigar, they never wavered. Not your "hazy smoke, where the heck am I" strong Cuban, but a smooth, personality packed two hours of lip smackin' fun. I could just stare at this review, wishing I was back in the land that delivered us these smokes. As they say in Canada..."Give 'em a try, eh?" Vital Statistics: Shape = Double Corona Length = 7 5/8" RG = 49 Wrapper = Cuba Filler = Cuba Binder =Cuba Estimated Cost = $60 (Canadian)
