About AJ Fernandez Cigars
AJ’s first collaboration with his Father Ismael is a nod to the discovery of tobacco by Christopher Columbus and its introduction to the rest of the world in 1492.
Raised in Cuba and steeped in the rich tradition of Fernandez cigar legacy, AJ Fernandez produces unparalleled premium cigars in Esteli, Nicaragua. Ensuring superior quality, the day-to-day operations at Tabacalera AJ Fernandez are managed under the watchful eye of AJ himself.
Through a fusion of inherited technique and learned patience, Fernandez’ long filler tobaccos are grown from prized seeds which are proprietary only to the Fernandez family. Perhaps the most essential quality of the AJ Fernandez line of cigars is the perspective and motivation of AJ, as well as the history of the Fernandez family.

Very enjoyable smoke with some complexities. Flavours include cedar wood with wet leather, an underlying reaching taste of candy apple and anise during the second third with a finish of cedar and white pepper. Great even burn with clouds of white smoke with every draw. Recommended. 4.5 stars.

As a big fan of maduro cigars I was not expecting much from this Connecticut wrapper cigar………big mistake !! This is one fabulous, smooth and very tasty cigar that has a permanent place in my humidor

This has been one of the best smokes I’ve had. I usually like a darker cigar but this one has been one of the best Connecticut wrappers I’ve ever had. It had a lot of flavours, perfect burn and draw with a perfect 50 minute smoke time. I’d highly recommend anyone looking for a smooth smoke with still lots of flavour. I’m definitely buying a box of these next time.

Underwhelming for me. Good construction and burned well, but the flavour ranged from nothing special to downright bad on a couple of draws. Probably won’t revisit this one.

These things are a hit and miss I got 5 of them ! They look great well constructed but taste bad I had a very tight draw on 3 of them almost running out of breath trying to draw a good cloud. won’t try again or maybe just not my type of blend !

This cigars best quality is consistency. When I want a no fuss smoking experience, this is my go too. Construction is always top notch. No issues with cracking or tight draws, and burns fairly straight most of the time. The flavour is good, not great, milder with a nuttiness. Cigar Chief is great as always with the best prices and fast shipping.
