HOYO La Amistad Dark Sumatra by AJ Fernandez
today.
Dark Sumatra is one of the fullest flavored Hoyo de Monterrey blends.
It takes a great cigar master to spot the potential of a new tobacco, and an even greater one to turn it into an outstanding cigar. But that's exactly what happened with Estelo Padrón when he discovered an unusually dark Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper curing in his barn. One look at its deep color inspired him to create this singularly rich, robust HOYO cigar that's as rewarding as any handmade on the market today.
From one cigar master to another, HOYO Dark Sumatra is now made under the La Amistad family of blends by AJ Fernandez at his Nicaraguan factory. Called Dark Sumatra after its wrapper, which is hand-selected from the very darkest and thickest sungrown Sumatra-seed leaf Ecuador has to offer. These choice, extra-dark tobaccos are carefully wrapped around a Connecticut Broadleaf binder and a special, robust blend of premium Honduran and Dominican long-fillers that all contribute to the extraordinary taste this premium provides in droves.
