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.

JUST POOR CONSTRUCTION FROM ANOTHER CIGAR! WOULD NOT BURN PROPERLY, HORRIBLE RESTRICTIVE DRAW DEFINITELY HAD A TWIST IN THE FOOT NEEDING CONSTANT TOUCH UPS. I WAS READY TO TOSS IT IN THE FIRE AT HALFWAY POINT DUE TO THE HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE BUT ALL OF A SUDDEN IT GOT THROUGH THE TWIST AND TROUBLE AREA AND STARTED BURNING REASONABLY WELL. FROM THAT POINT ON TO THE NUB IT WAS QUITE NICE AND SMOOTH, NOT EXHIBITING MUCH FOR FLAVORS BESIDES A LEATHERY TASTE WITH A HINT OF PEPPER. MY SUMMARY WOULD BE HORRIBLE DRAW, NEXT TO NO FLAVORS,CONSTANT TOUCH UPS GETS A FAIL FOR $16 THE SHEER FRUSTRATION IT CAUSED WAS NOT WORTH IT.

Very pleasantly surprised by this cigar, even though various online reviews were positive. Nice dark unsweetened chocolate from the first puff, later delivering a sweet spice, pepper on the retrohale, developing into a sweeter, earthy cocoa. Nice slow burn, beautifully constructed cigar.
