Rows in grey were last read more than 60 days ago: they are history, not quotes, and never count as the cheapest. Listed price for the box of 10 in the retailer's own currency, their own tax included. A box crossing a border picks up destination duty and VAT on top — the "duty paid EU" mark shows the few retailers whose price is all-in beyond their home market.

The piece
The thickest Hoyo. 56-ring Geniales format with the Le Hoyo line's signature gentle blend in a serious-sized smoke.
Le Hoyo de Río Seco was added to the Le Hoyo line in 2014 to extend Hoyo de Monterrey into the bigger ring gauges. At 5.5 inches by a 56 ring (Habanos calls the shape Geniales), it's the thickest Hoyo currently in production and one of the rare 56-ring cigars in the Habanos catalogue. Despite the bigger format, the blend stays true to the Le Hoyo signature — lighter, sweeter and creamier than the standard Hoyo de Monterrey line, with the brand's distinctive hay and honey opening.
The smoke is dense but gentle. First third opens with hay, honey and a faint almond note; the middle drifts into Hoyo's creamy cedar core with a touch of toasted bread; the last third delivers a slow, sweet finish that holds for the full 75 to 90 minutes without burning hot. Río Seco ships in box of 10 (not 25 like most Hoyos), and a box sits in the €315 to €380 range across Europe: Noblego runs around €340, Cigarmust CHF 380 (~€400 after FX), Italian licensed tabaccherie €350. The €60 absolute spread is small in absolute terms but meaningful as a percentage on a box this size — comparison-shopping makes the difference between four and five cigars worth of value per box.

Prices and stock move. Save a price alert and we email you when any retailer drops below your target or the box comes back in stock.
Will the listed price include duty + VAT for my country?
Only if you live where the retailer is. Every price on this page is all-in (excise duty + VAT included) in the retailer's home country and nowhere else. Buy from a German retailer to a German address and what you see is what you pay. Buy across a border — a Swiss retailer shipping into the EU, or any EU retailer shipping to the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Finland or Ireland — and the destination country charges its own tobacco excise and VAT on arrival. How much depends on the destination's excise rate; our import-duty guide walks through the main markets.
The few retailers whose price is all-in beyond their home market carry a "duty paid EU" mark in the table.
How does Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de Río Seco compare to other Hoyo de Monterrey cigars?
Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de Río Seco is a Geniales, ring 56, 140 mm, medium strength, sold in a box of 10. The other Hoyo de Monterrey vitolas on the board, each with its own price page, are Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2, Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial.

Is the price for Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de Río Seco likely to drop?
Habanos S.A. (the Cuban state tobacco monopoly) sets the worldwide release-price floor for every Habano in this catalogue. That floor went up roughly 40% during the 2022–2024 global price harmonisation, and Habanos has signalled further annual increases through 2027. So the long-term trend is up, not down.
Short-term, prices move at the retailer level — promotions, clearance, a restock at a different price. Where we have a history, the 90-day line on this page shows what the cheapest box in Europe has actually done. A price alert with no target emails you on any drop; setting a target limits it to your budget.
