Wow, a real knock your socks off full bodied and complex cigar! I have never smoked one of these little powerhouses and bought a couple today at High Times in Costa Mesa, CA and really enjoyed the one I smoked! Has anybody else tried the Hoyo de Monterrey 143rd Anniversary cigars? What do you guys and gals that have smoked one think? I give this one a 4.1 on a 5.0 scale! Charlie

I picked up one of the 135th Ann. just before Christmass. Is it the same smoke? (cedar wrapped rubusto stamped 135th anniversary)If so, I'm looking forward to it.

I have had two of the maduros and enjoy them immensly. A definate difference from the regular. the extra ligero leaf makes them pretty darn awesome.

Is this as good as the Por Larranaga or Santa Damiana?

or my leyendos?

Whoops, my mistake, it is the 135th Anniversary and yes they are very good! I have never been a big fan of Hoyo de Monterrey, have always liked Excalibur's.
This is a cigar worth trying! Charlie

LMAO @ Rick!

Hey Charlie, I live in Costa Mesa(for now). Have you ever bought from Mike at the fairgrounds on the weekends??? cj

Sorry to disagree. I smoked 5 of them and they didn't light my fire. Not bad, but I will take an Excalibur #1 Maduro over them any time. JMHO. bill

I was gifted one by Joe Dinc about two months ago and I thought it was a great smoke with some kick, very nice flavor, and smooth finish...I'd definitely buy some...They really surprised me...I didn't think they would be very complex for a HDM

ellesson,so your in Costa Mesa(for now).Would Mike be the guy with the large refridgerated Trailer Humi?If so yes,I've bought smokes from him a time or two.
Hey,We(You,Charlie and myself) should hook up for a beer and a smoke at either Newport Brew Co. or Goat Hill Tavern.LMK
