Elegantes LCDH (Vintage 2019)

The Hoyo de Monterrey Elegantes is a Limited-Edition cigar introduced by Habanos in 2019 exclusively for La Casa del Habano (LCDH) cigar stores worldwide. With a size of 6 1/4 inches in length and a 49-ring gauge, the Elegantes boasts a classic Piramides format that tapers to a pointed head, allowing for a more concentrated and intense smoking experience. This medium to full-bodied cigar delivers a complex and well-balanced flavor profile, starting with delicate mineral notes in the first puff that is never aggressive. Although limited in number, the aromas are of high quality, featuring subtle, precious wood notes, bolder white pepper, and coffee characters. As the smoking experience progresses, the cigar develops into spices, among which the clove and hazelnut notes emerge while keeping the primary noble wood and coffee notes. Like many Hoyo de Monterrey brand cigars, the Elegantes is known for its smooth and creamy smoke, culminating in a satisfying and long finish. The Limited-Edition release ensures that only the finest tobacco grown in Cuba is used, adding to the overall quality and uniqueness of the smoking experience.
