Hoyo de Monterrey Monterreyes No. 4 Edición Limitada 2021

The Hoyo de Monterrey Monterreyes No. 4 Edición Limitada 2021 represents a noteworthy chapter in the legacy of the Hoyo de Monterrey brand, one of Cuba’s most revered cigar houses. Released as part of Habanos S.A.’s coveted Edición Limitada series, this cigar embodies both the time-honored artistry of Cuban cigar craftsmanship and the innovative spirit that defines the limited edition format.

Vitola and Presentation
The Monterreyes No. 4 is rolled in the rare and elegant Mareva Gruesa vitola, measuring 55 ring gauge by 145 mm (5.7 inches) in length. This size strikes a balanced silhouette, larger than a classic robusto but shorter than a Churchill, making it an inviting format for aficionados who seek a rich yet accessible smoking experience.

As with all Edición Limitada releases, the Monterreyes No. 4 is produced using aged tobaccos, with each component wrapper, binder, and filler having undergone a minimum of two years of aging. The result is a cigar that marries maturity and complexity, presented in elegantly lacquered boxes of 10 cigars, each adorned with the signature second black-and-gold Edición Limitada band.

Origin and Craftsmanship
Handmade in the Vuelta Abajo region of Pinar del Río, the Monterreyes No. 4 is constructed using 100% Cuban tobacco, with leaves selected from the finest plantations of San Juan y Martínez. Known for producing aromatic and balanced tobaccos, this region imbues the cigar with a profile that remains true to Hoyo de Monterrey’s hallmark of subtle elegance while introducing a nuanced depth suited for the Edición Limitada series.

Flavor Profile and Smoking Experience
True to its heritage, the Monterreyes No. 4 offers a medium-bodied flavor experience, beginning with soft notes of sweet cedar, toasted nuts, and light cream. As the cigar progresses, it reveals a sophisticated core of earthy undertones, delicate floral hints, and a whisper of dried fruit and baking spices a testament to the aged tobaccos and expert blending. The finish is long and refined, with a subtle touch of white pepper and honey, providing a harmonious conclusion.

The draw is effortless, and the construction is exemplary, offering a razor-sharp burn and consistent smoke output throughout the 60–75 minute smoking session. It’s a cigar that demands attention not because of overwhelming strength, but due to its intricately layered character and refined evolution from start to finish.

Collector’s Appeal
As with all Edición Limitada cigars, the Hoyo de Monterrey Monterreyes No. 4 EL 2021 is produced in limited quantities, ensuring exclusivity and long-term value for collectors. Its aging potential is significant, with the rich yet restrained profile expected to evolve beautifully over the next decade or more.
