What are the dimensions and smoking time of the Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona Gran Reserva Cosecha 2013?

This Gran Reserva measures 194mm (7.6 inches) in length with a 49 ring gauge, making it a substantial Double Corona format. Expect a smoking duration of 90-120 minutes depending on your pace. The 2013 harvest tobacco was aged for a minimum of five years before rolling, contributing to its refined combustion characteristics and consistent draw throughout the extended session.

How does the Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona Gran Reserva Cosecha 2013 compare to regular production Hoyo de Monterrey cigars?

Unlike standard Hoyo offerings, this Gran Reserva uses wrapper, binder, and filler tobaccos sourced exclusively from the 2013 harvest and aged under controlled conditions since 2014. The blend delivers more pronounced cedar and honeyed sweetness with subdued floral notes compared to the brighter, grassier profile typical of younger Epicure series cigars. Production was limited to 5,000 numbered boxes of 15 cigars worldwide.

What flavor profile and strength can I expect from the Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona Gran Reserva Cosecha 2013?

The cigar presents a mild-to-medium body with remarkable complexity. Initial notes of toasted almonds and orange peel transition to core flavors of caramel, white pepper, and aged cedar. The finish carries subtle leather and cocoa powder. Strength builds gradually, remaining approachable throughout. The extended aging has mellowed any harshness, resulting in a silky texture and pronounced sweetness rarely found in younger Cuban Double Coronas.
