AJ Fernandez Días de Gloria Habano Toro is a medium-to-full-bodied Nicaraguan puro created as a tribute to the craftsmanship and tobacco traditions of pre-revolutionary Cuba. Handmade in Estelí, Nicaragua, this 6 x 56 box-pressed Toro is made entirely with aged Nicaraguan tobaccos selected from AJ Fernandez’s private farm reserves.
A glistening, sun-grown Nicaraguan Habano wrapper covers a Nicaraguan binder and long fillers drawn from AJ Fernandez farms in Estelí, Condega, Jalapa, and Ometepe. Many of the tobaccos were carefully fermented and aged for years before blending, creating a smooth, mature profile with depth, balance, and refined strength.
Expect notes of cedar, espresso, roasted nuts, leather, earth, dark cocoa, sweet tobacco, dry wood, black pepper, and warm baking spice. The box-pressed 56 ring gauge produces a generous, cool volume of smoke, while the six-inch Toro format allows the blend’s earthy sweetness and peppery finish to build gradually.
Named Días de Gloria, meaning “Days of Glory,” this cigar honors the historic golden era of Cuban cigar making while expressing AJ Fernandez’s signature Nicaraguan character. It is an excellent choice for experienced smokers who enjoy rich, balanced puros with aged-tobacco complexity.
Pair AJ Fernandez Días de Gloria Habano Toro with espresso, aged rum, bourbon, añejo tequila, or a rich porter.

This one surprised me in a good way. Smooth and earthy right out of the gate, with strong coffee and cedar tones, then a subtle sweetness of chocolate and French peanuts. Pepper builds nicely on the back end—warm but not overwhelming. Construction was tight, burn even, draw effortless. I paired it with a neat bourbon and it brought out the cedar and cocoa beautifully. A solid, Cuban-inspired smoke that delivers complexity without being too heavy
