I think these came out in October or November of 2003. Images of the people and the country of Honduras are reflected in bright, vivid colors by Jose Rodriguez, a Honduran folk artist.

As for the cigars, the Hoyo de Monterrey Seleccion del Arte is described by the company as spicier and fuller in body than the standard Hoyo de Monterrey line. It has a dark Honduran-seed wrapper that was developed by cigar master Angel Daniel Núñez and grown on a small scale over the last few years. Because of the short supply of wrapper, the Hoyo de Monterrey Seleccion del Arte was limited to 1,000 boxes of each size. The rest of the blend includes an Ecuadoran Sumatra binder and a filler comprising Honduran, Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos.

What is interesting to me is that the this particular wrapper was in short supply and the artist boxes were a limited edition.
They were at the RTDA 2003 show. I have the box ...with the artwork...
