Description
The Souvenir de Luxe is a nostalgic release from Hoyo de Monterrey, part of the Línea Retro Collection that revives the charm of tin‑packaged cigars popular in the 1970s. Each tin contains 5 cigars, and they are typically sold in sets of 5 tins (25 cigars). The vitola is a Petit Corona, offering a compact yet elegant smoking experience. Crafted with tobaccos from Cuba’s Vuelta Abajo region, the Souvenir de Luxe emphasizes the brand’s hallmark light‑to‑medium strength and floral character. Its collectible tin packaging makes it both practical for travel and appealing to aficionados who enjoy vintage‑style presentations.
Taste Note
The Souvenir de Luxe opens with delicate floral notes and cedar, immediately showcasing the refined lightness of Hoyo de Monterrey. As the cigar develops, creamy textures and subtle sweetness reminiscent of honey and vanilla emerge, adding depth without overwhelming the palate. Midway through, nutty undertones and soft spice enrich the smoke, maintaining a smooth and balanced profile. In the final third, the woody character becomes more pronounced, complemented by lingering floral notes and a touch of fruitiness that leave a graceful, aromatic finish. The progression is elegant yet approachable, making this cigar ideal for those who appreciate finesse over strength in a compact format.
