The Hoyo de Monterrey Shade Toro cigar is a mellow reboot for the historic brand, stepping away from the fuller-bodied Rojo and Oscuro blends to showcase a smoother, more accessible profile. Crafted entirely from Honduran tobacco (including a Connecticut Shade wrapper grown in-country), this toro delivers a gentle but flavorful experience that’s ideal for everyday rotation.
Rolled at the STG Danlí factory, the Hoyo de Monterrey Shade Toro cigar highlights the often-overlooked elegance of Honduran leaf when handled with a light touch. It’s priced to invite newcomers but refined enough to keep seasoned hobbyists interested—especially those looking for something smooth that doesn’t sacrifice character.

This toro delivers a creamy, easygoing profile with notes of sweet hay, cashew, and soft cedar. The draw is fluid, and the finish stays clean, making it a go-to option when you want something light but still well-built. It’s the kind of cigar that proves mellow doesn’t mean forgettable.
