Nicaraguan Forward
Hoyo La Amistad Gold
La Amistad Gold is a Hoyo × A.J. Fernández collaboration that pairs an Ecuadorian Criollo wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan fillers. Listed as medium‑full, it leans on leather, cocoa, fruity and nutty notes with an earthy, occasionally peppery finish and is offered in larger, smoke‑forward sizes like Gigante and Toro.

Gold reads like a Nicaraguan core dressed for approachability: the Ecuadorian Criollo wrapper smooths and rounds the Nicaraguan binder/filler’s natural drive. Expect leathery center notes with a steady cocoa undercurrent, intermittent fruity or nutty accents and earthier, peppered closing tones. The cigar produces generous smoke and clear transitions—leather and cocoa up front, then nutty or fruity hints mid‑burn, finishing with a dry, earthy edge. Offered mostly in thicker formats, it’s a cigar where size affects pacing more than the basic flavor set.
