Hoyo La Amistad Silver is the second cigar in three Hoyo collaborations between General Cigar and AJ Fernandez. Released in 2017, one year after Hoyo La Amistad Gold, Hoyo La Amistad Silver is comprised of 100% Habano tobacco, intended for more experienced connoisseurs and fans of fuller-bodied cigars. AJ Fernandez takes special delight in blending and putting his name on these special cigars because he actually grew up near the actual Hoyo de Monterrey tobacco farms in Cuba. In his own words, he "put his heart and soul into this blend" and it "represents the best of the Fernandez family and factory." This, of course, is referring to the umbrella of all 3 blends in the Hoyo La Amistad series, but Fernandez's words go to show that this blend was by no means thrown together. For the Hoyo La Amistad Silver, the actual blend consists of an Ecuadorian wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and a rich filler blend from two of the most popular tobacco regions of Nicaragua: Esteli and Condega. All tobaccos used in Hoyo La Amistad Silver are grown from Habano Cuban seed, making this fine product the strongest offering in the series. (Shop all Hoyo de Monterrey Cigars)
Boasting the beautiful Hoyo La Amistad logo fashioned after Hoyo de Monterrey's 150th anniversary cigar, the packaging of these beauties is crisp and contemporary. White and red bands outlined with gleaming silver borders boldly contrast the dark, toothy cigars, making for quite an impressive presentation. Each Hoyo La Amistad Silver cigar is masterfully crafted and rolled to produce an easy draw and monstrous clouds of dense white smoke. Immediately boasting a bold, powerful flavor profile upon lighting, Hoyo La Amistad Silver develops into a rich combination of cedar, mocha, and white pepper throughout the duration of the smoke. Spicy and clean through the nose, the finish on Hoyo La Amistad Silver throws out more pepper, along with a sweet dark chocolate note. Overall, Hoyo La Amistad Silver is a full-bodied cigar with plenty of kick, no doubt ready to satisfy those who love a powerhouse cigar.
Hoyo La Amistad Silver is a masterpiece of a cigar. Many AJ Fernandez fans consider the Hoyo La Amistad series to be the best of his many collaborations and "resurrections" of classic Cuban brands. Spicy, complex, and full-bodied to the core, Hoyo La Amistad Silver is suitable for a more experienced audience, yet is easy enough to smoke for someone looking to head into the full-bodied realm. Coffee pairs well with Hoyo La Amistad Silver, making it a classy way to start the day, while those who may prefer to use it as a dessert cigar might prefer a glass of port wine alongside this bold beauty. The Hoyo La Amistad series is often compared to either H. Upmann by AJ Fernandez or Ramon Allones by AJ Fernandez, due to the bold and spicy characteristics of the flavor profile, so if you have come to enjoy either of the above, the chances are you will love this blend. "La Amistad" means "friendship" in Spanish. That being said, if you are looking for an amazing premium stick with a great story behind it, you had better make friends with Hoyo La Amistad Silver and enjoy the best of what AJ Fernandez has to offer.
