At the 2018 IPCPR cigar trade show, General Cigar introduced Hoyo La Amistad Black cigars, their 3rd collaboration with highly acclaimed cigar maker AJ Fernandez. This three vitola selection features a very dark, almost black Ecuador Sumatra wrapper, surrounding a thick and sturdy Mexican San Andres binder, and aged long fillers from Nicaragua. AJ was challenged with creating a cigar that held true to Hoyo’s rich Cuban heritage while adding his famous modern spin, and he succeeded tremendously on both counts with this rich and rewarding medium to full body blend. With complex notes of leather, baking spices, some cayenne pepper, and hints of sweet tobacco, these two industry legends have created yet another magnificent premium handmade cigar that is worthy of some prime real estate in your humidor.
