# Hoyo de Monterrey Hoyo La Amistad Gold Cigar

La Amistad, which means "friendship", is a unique collaboration between the Hoyo de Monterrey brand and AJ Fernandez. AJ's passion for Hoyo started when he grew up near the Hoyo de Monterrey farm in Cuba and he has had a love for the brand ever since. The cigar was blended by AJ and rolled in his factory in Nicaragua. Paying homage to the classically Cuban Hoyo de Monterrey, the box and band feature gold and red to offer a classic yet modern look. Featuring an Ecuador Habano wrapper, La Amistad provides a full bodied, spicy smoke across four classic frontmarks.
