Storage Instructions
For the Hoyo de Monterrey Doble Corona Cabinet (50) keep the cigars in a stable, cedar lined humidor for the best preservation. Aim for a relative humidity of 68 to 70% and a temperature between 65 and 70ºF (18 to 21ºC). The Doble Corona is a long format that benefits from even humidity throughout its length, so store the cabinet box inside your humidor or place the cigars on cedar shelves with some space for air to circulate. Use a well calibrated hygrometer and a reliable humidification system or two way humidity packs to maintain consistency. Avoid direct sunlight, rapid temperature swings and places with strong odors. If you transport the cigars, keep them in a travel humidor or sealed container to prevent sudden moisture loss or gain.
Care Tips
Handle each Hoyo de Monterrey Doble Corona Cabinet (50) gently and by the body to protect the delicate wrapper. Do not squeeze or roll the cigar between your fingers. When preparing to smoke, make a clean cut to the cap using a sharp guillotine, V cutter or a punch that preserves the head. Light the foot evenly by toasting it first and then drawing while rotating the cigar for a steady burn. Allow newly purchased cigars to acclimate in your humidor for one to two weeks if they have been shipped or stored in a different environment. For aging, these Doble Coronas respond well to time. Many enthusiasts notice improved balance and complexity after six months to two years of controlled aging and further smoothing with longer cellaring. Check your humidor regularly and rotate the boxes occasionally to ensure uniform humidity. Avoid refrigeration or freezing as those conditions will damage the tobacco and wrapper.

Tasting Notes
The Hoyo de Monterrey Doble Corona Cabinet (50) unfurls as a refined, medium-bodied masterpiece—elegant rather than aggressive—offering a plush, creamy draw that rewards patient smoking. Initial notes of cedar and toasted almond lead into richer layers of dark cocoa, subtle leather and a gentle espresso bitterness, while a delicate floral sweetness and citrus-tinged hay linger on the retrohale. As the long Doble Corona format develops, a whisper of white pepper and warm baking spice surfaces, adding complexity without overpowering the cigar’s silky texture. The aroma is classically nostalgic: warm tobacco, cedar chest, and a faint floral honey that enhances the overall sense of balance and sophistication.
Pairing Suggestions
Single-origin espresso, its concentrated bitterness and crema highlight the cigar’s cocoa and espresso notes while the coffee’s Acidity cleanses the palate between draws. Aged añejo rum or an XO cognac, the rich caramel, dried fruit and toasted oak of these spirits mirror the cigar’s cedar and leather tones and add a harmonious sweetness to the finish. 70–75% dark chocolate, the cacao intensity amplifies the cigar’s chocolate and almond nuances, offering a luxurious, textural contrast that elevates every puff.
