Hoyo de Monterrey La Amistad Gigante is a reinvented version of its Cuban predecessor Hoyo de Monterrey. It is also a joint venture by AJ Fernandez and General Cigars, two giants in the tobacco industry. Hand-rolled, the Hoyo de Monterrey La Amistad is a medium-strength cigar that uses a Colorado Ecuadorian Habano wrapper to surround a Nicaraguan binder and filler.
