Tasting on 15.02.21: Test follows until 07.03.2021

A non-public tasting will take place in the lounge of Zigarren.Zone Social Network on 15.02.21. Due to the COVID-19 measures, of course, under the prescribed safety measures. Two people will be present: Christian Schmid (Photo factory 321) and Vasilij Ratej (publisher of Zigarren.Zone Social Network). A large test article with beautiful photos and a video will appear here on the website this week.

SPOILER ALERT: Mild, aromatic. Get a case or more if you can. I have tasted a sample. Of course, it's unfair and too early to make a final judgment. But... 🙂

Here is the test of the cigar with pairing Havana Club Cohiba Atmosphere Union >

First test — An elegant format, this Hermosos No. 1 (Grand Corona). Length 167 mm, ring 48.

Unboxing

Let's finally get to the unboxing. I hope you enjoy it.

Year Of The Ox — Bright red with a signal effect.

Velvet bag — The very high-quality box is wrapped in a velvet bag. The velvet bag is of high quality this time (compared to the Montecristo 80, which crackled incredibly cheaply).

Boxing date on the outer box — OCT 20 is the boxing date. High time to taste the cigar in mid-January 2021.

High-quality crate. — The high-quality box is also wrapped in thick cellophane. I really like this because the box is perfectly protected for transportation.

Do you still fancy the unboxing? Sure you do, don't you?

Velvet bottom of the box — The bottom of the back is covered with velvet (felt).

Year Of Ox — The box is high quality and looks wonderful.

Description of the cigars — The first look inside the high-quality box.

Cedar wood platelets — I like the sight of it. A kind of foreplay 🙂

Tissue paper — The obligatory tissue paper on the upper cigars.

Open box of the unboxing — The box is finally open 🙂

Two layers of cigars — 9 cigars at the top and 9 cigars at the bottom.

Bottom layer of the cigars. — This is the bottom layer of the box. It contains 9 cigars.

Hoyo de Monterrey

Hoyo de Monterrey is one of the most renowned Habanos brands. The name goes back to the plantation of the same name in San Juan y Martínez* in the heart of the Vuelta Abajo*. Undoubtedly one of the most famous plantations on very fertile soil. It alludes to the fertility of the Cuban lands, where one of the world's most famous tobaccos is grown.

Good Vasilij... you had your tasting ! Of course, I can only judge that by tasting it myself. You have my address for 1-2 samples ? Ps: my wife likes "red" so of course she would be happy about the box ???.

Thanks for your report.... I've been ogling this cigar ever since I found out about it. Your report increases the excitement considerably. I just hope to get hold of one of these boxes ?

  It is definitely worth it. I have already tasted more of it and so have two other people. It has already reached the soaking phase. But it has wonderful ageing potential, it will be a very good cigar in two to three years of ageing. After buying, be sure to taste a sample and make notes so that you can compare them later.
