We’re not certain what connection General Cigar has to the Battle of Hastings in 1066 or why the company wanted to commemorate it. And it really doesn’t matter since we’re all about results. The master tabaccalaras at the Villazon factory in Honduras deliver a superb stogie for the enthusiast seeking a rich, powerful smoking experience. Using an all Cuban-seed Honduran, Nicaraguan and Dominican filler blend pulled together with a Connecticut Broadleaf binder that supplements and accents the spicy Cameroon-seed wrapper, this is one serious cigar. After the release of the 1066 Cameroon line the folks at General Cigar Company released an additional wrapper style to the lineup: 'The Dark Knight.' Instead of a Cameroon wrapper, the Dark Knight cigars are hand rolled with Connecticut Broadleaf maduro around a fine blend of Honduran, Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos. So for you maduro fans the Hoyo Monterrey Excalibur 1066 Dark Knight deliver what you are looking for producing an abundant cloud of smoke and a rich earthy taste that will satisfy the most discriminating palate. So choose your weapon, either the 1066 Cameroon or the 1066 Dark Knight both will deliver great flavor that legendary cigar brand Hoyo De Monterrey is known for.
