Why this cigar

A modern big-ring Hoyo with easygoing charm. Río Seco brings the brand’s honeyed, floral elegance into a 56-ring format that stays cool and aromatic—perfect if you’re reading a Hoyo de Monterrey Río Seco review or looking to buy Hoyo de Monterrey cigars UK for relaxed, unhurried sessions. Released in 2018 as a new addition to the Le Hoyo series.

Flavour & draw

Light-to-medium body with sweet cedar and fresh pastry, touches of acacia honey and vanilla biscuit, then toasted almond, soft spice and a gentle citrus lift. The hefty ring gauge delivers thick, cool smoke; construction is tidy with an even burn and an easy, composed draw from start to finish.
