For those who love a lot of taste and a little pop on the palate, look no further than the Hoyo La Amistad. World renowned master blender AJ Fernandez was brought in by General Cigar to collaborate on this stunning stick that is being referred to as the most full bodied Hoyo de Monterrey that has ever been brought to market. The tobaccos in this blend are taken from four different growing regions in Nicaragua and the wrapper is a shimmering Ecuadorian Habano leaf. This incredibly satisfying smoke is a bit peppery on the palate but then rounds out so nicely with notes of sweet wood and dark chocolate. "I grew up very near to the Hoyo de Monterrey farm (in Cuba) and I have always had a love for the brand" said Fernandez, who makes his amazing cigars in Nicaragua. "When it came time to develop this blend, I put my heart and soul into it. To me, this project represents how far my family and I have come since Cuba."

To me, this project represents how far my family and I have come since Cuba, and how our expertise in tobacco continues to be recognized. This cigar represents the best of me and my factory and I am proud to be a part of this collaboration.”
