Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de San Juan (circa 2019)

I used to say that the Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de San Juan was the latest addition to the Le Hoyo line but since the 2018 de Rio Seco was released I can no longer say that. At least I can ponder that six years have passed since the de San Juan was added to the Le Hoyo line. (Has it really been that long?)

When they first came to market in late 2014/early 2015 I enjoyed quite a few of these but this de San Juan is just the third I've enjoyed since early 2018. What happened, did I hear you ask? Nothing out of the ordinary, I was just distracted by the de Rio Seco for a little awhile. This de San Juan came to me via the generosity of our host for winning a Word of the Week competition. After a rest period of a little over 30 days I was eager to sample this one first, the other two (prize cigars) being the Trinidad Esmeralda and Quai d'Orsay No.50.

After smoking this today, I can presume that this was a 2019 specimen of a de San Juan and I can emphatically say that it still remains every bit as good as the numerous examples I had when they first were released. In comparison to the de Rio Seco, this de San Juan was less creamy, had less sweet spice (like ginger) but still retained a distinctive cedar core, had a subtle creamy texture, characteristic tea notes and a cinnamon or vanilla sweetness.

How did it compare to the recent outstanding Le Hoyo de Rio Seco cigars I've enjoyed? It didn't really; this de San Juan was just different but every bit as good. If I had the opportunity to grab a box from an upcoming 24:24 listing I would, just like I would with the de Rio Seco. Luckily, I have a late-2015 box of de San Juan to go through first.

2012 Monte 2 today. Very nice smoke! Smooth chocolate and cream the first half. Last half got some gorgeous baking spices. Hints of clove and cinnamon. 
 

Pretty new to Monte and I know a lot of people say you have to pick your Montes. Are we talking dark wrappers? Oily wrappers? What makes a safe bet on appearance with Monte?

This is a beautiful ashtray, nice work! If you ever think about making these to sell, I would love to buy one.  I'm sure others on here would as well.

SUM-NOV-15 with some Basil.  Connie A is one of my favorites and better than the B, in my opinion.  Found this box in Havana last year and this is only the second I've smoked from it.  Razor sharp burn, flawless combustion and a beautiful wrapper.  Roasted cashews, sweet hay, cedar and vanilla on the retro. There's an underlying "waxy" feel to the smoke on the back of the tongue but something very subtle and mellow. Pure class. I could smoke these almost everyday.
