HOYO de MONTERREY
KICKS OFF BOX A DAY GIVEAWAY

Richmond,
VA—To celebrate the launch of the new Hoyo de Monterrey website, General
Cigar is rolling out a “Box
a Day Giveaway” to share the unique flavor of the Hoyo de Monterrey Reposado
en Cedros® brand with cigar lovers across the U.S.
From
now through July 31, 2012, consumers of legal smoking age are invited to visit
the brand’s website (www.hoyodemonterreycigar.com)
to enter to win a box of Hoyo de Monterrey Reposado en Cedros cigars, which
feature a proprietary process called “Inmersion.™”
After
being handcrafted by a handpicked team of artisans, each Reposado en Cedros
cigar undergoes Inmersion, an innovative method of aging created at HATSA,
General Cigar’s Honduran cigar factory. With this technique, each cigar is enveloped in fragrant cedar and left
to rest for an extended period of time. The cigar matures to a complex, medium-bodied
smoke that has won the brand stellar ratings and praise from the premium cigar
category’s most discerning experts.
According
to Kendall Rountree, brand manager for Hoyo de Monterrey cigars, “Since its
debut, Hoyo de Monterrey Reposado en Cedros cigars has developed a cult
following among serious cigar smokers who are drawn to its uniquely spicy taste.
We’re utilizing the launch of the Hoyo de Monterrey website as an opportunity
to increase the brand’s legion of fans through the ‘Box a Day Giveaway’ and are
confident that cigar lovers will enjoy the brand’s uniquely spicy taste.”
Winners of
the Hoyo de Monterrey Reposado en Cedros “Box a Day Giveaway” will be announced
every Monday on the brand’s website,
as well as on the brand’s Facebook
page and Twitter feed.
