Prices and availability shift weekly. Save this SKU to your watchlist with the Save price alert button to get an email the moment any retailer in your country drops below your target price.
Will the listed price include duty + VAT for my country?
The Duty / Ships column above tells you exactly that. Each retailer listed price is all-in (excise duty + VAT included) only in their home country. Buy from a German retailer as a German buyer: what you see is what you pay. Buy cross-border (e.g. a Swiss retailer shipping to Germany, or any EU retailer shipping to the UK, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, or Ireland) and the destination country will charge its own tobacco excise + VAT at the door — typically €100–€300 extra on a box of 25 Habanos, sometimes much more for the UK.
If you set your destination country on the page, every row that is genuinely all-in for you gets highlighted in green. The dimmed rows are honest-looking prices that will cost more than they show.
How does Hoyo de Monterrey Le Hoyo de Río Seco compare to other Hoyo de Monterrey cigars?
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.
If you want a side-by-side comparison of Hoyo de Monterrey other vitolas at current European prices, the SKUs we track are: Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No. 2, Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure Especial. Each link opens its own live price-comparison page.
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 fluctuate at the retailer level — Swiss promotional weeks, German LCDH clearance, the occasional Spanish over-stock. The Finder catches those. A drop alert with no target price will email you on any meaningful reduction; setting a target locks the alert to your specific budget.

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.
