The Hoyo de Monterrey Palmas Extra Cuban cigar is a masterful creation, offering a smoking experience that is rich, complex, and deeply satisfying. With its medium-bodied profile, it strikes a perfect balance between smoothness and flavor, making it a go-to choice for cigar lovers seeking elegance in a refined smoke.

Visually, the Palmas Extra is a thing of beauty—its wrapper is a rich, reddish-brown hue, smooth with a slight oiliness that hints at the fine tobacco within. The cigar is skillfully constructed, with a perfect draw that promises a consistent, pleasurable experience. The pre-light aroma is intoxicating, offering earthy notes with whispers of leather and a light touch of sweetness, enticing the senses before the first flame even touches the foot.

Once lit, the Hoyo de Monterrey Palmas Extra begins with a smooth and creamy profile that immediately envelops the palate. The initial puffs reveal a beautiful mix of flavors—earthy and woody notes intertwined with a mild creaminess, accompanied by a touch of sweetness that hints at caramel and dried fruit. The smoke is cool and rich, with a silky texture that coats the tongue without overwhelming the senses.

As the cigar progresses, it begins to open up with more depth and complexity. The smooth earthiness persists, but now accompanied by a subtle hint of nuts, particularly almonds, and a slight leathery undertone that adds sophistication. The flavors evolve with a touch of spice—an elegant pepperiness that is balanced and never too bold—along with hints of cedar and toasted wood that continue to add layers of richness to the experience.

The burn is consistently even, with a steady draw that produces thick, aromatic smoke. The ash is firm and light-gray, falling off cleanly and allowing the smooth construction to shine through. The smoke is aromatic, filling the air with a pleasant, inviting fragrance that makes the Hoyo de Monterrey Palmas Extra a joy to smoke in any setting.

The finish is long, with a gentle spice that lingers, leaving behind a subtle, creamy aftertaste. It’s a cigar that never rushes but instead allows you to savor each draw, each layer of flavor, from beginning to end.

Whether enjoyed on a relaxed afternoon or paired with a special occasion, the Hoyo de Monterrey Palmas Extra is a cigar that embodies the elegance and tradition of Cuban tobacco. It’s perfect for those who seek a refined yet flavorful smoke—one that is smooth and balanced, but with enough complexity to keep the experience engaging from start to finish.
