Double Coronas Grand Reserve 2013 Harvest

THE ICONIC BRAND ADDS THE CONCEPT OF GRAND RESERVE TO ITS PORTFOLIO WITH THE DOUBLE CORONAS VITOLA AND AN EXCLUSIVE PRODUCTION OF ,000 INDIVIDUALLY-NUMBERED BOXES

Uniqueness makes a difference and forges new concepts of tasting. It inspires. For Premium cigars' lovers, this is the perfect opportunity to get closer to original products capable of overflowing the sensitive universe and expand it to unimaginable heights.

Habanos S.A. offers new motives to amaze in every Festival and achieves it this time by launching the first Grand Reserve 2013 Harvest of the brand Hoyo de Monterrey in its iconic vitola Double Coronas (Ring Gauge 49 x 194 mm long).

The Habanos belonging to this Reserve have been “totally handmade with long filler” by skilled Cuban cigar rollers. The leaves for fillers, binder and wrapper used in its production have been submitted to a long and careful five-years aging process.

Meant for the unwavering devotees of the best cigars in the world, this is an exclusive production of 5,000 numbered boxes, which maintains the elegant presentation that characterizes the Grand Reserve, with a black lacquer finish and the iron of the brand, plus its concept logo, printed in gold on the cover.

Double Coronas is the vitola with highest scoring in the category “Blindfolded Tasting” carried out in 1992 for the first time, and it was never matched again. After more than two decades, it is still a distinctive vitola within the brand due to its long format and pleasant smoking, which combines the mild strength of its blend with the delicate and aromatic feature provided by the aging process of its leaves.

Michael Jordan, regarded as the best basketball player of all times, noted in a interview granted to Cigar Aficionado magazine that this is one of his favorite Habanos, which he smoked before every game. On the other hand, renowned Dominican baseball player Alex Rodríguez confessed he started smoking Habanos one day he was playing golf with the basketball star and Jordan offered him one Hoyo de Monterrey Double Coronas.

The famous brand is derived from its like-name plantation, located in San Juan y Martínez* (DOP), at the heart of Pinar del Río*, Cuba*. With this launching, the brand adds the concept of Grand Reserve to its portfolio after the launching —in 2016— of the first reserve in the vitola Epicure No.2, with selected leaves from the 2012 harvest.

The Habanos Epicure Especial launched in 2008 are known worldwide as well, especially after the success achieved by the 2004 Limited Edition, which along with the Epicure No.1 and Epicure No.2 are a differentiated line of production. Hoyo de Monterrey released for the first time in 2018 a special edition for the franchise network La Casa del Habano.
