A.J. Fernandez – Cigars
The history of Tabacalera Fernandez began with utmost humility: starting with just six experienced torcedores, the company initially crafted cigars for other brands. Today, however, A.J. Fernandez Cigars represent the pinnacle of craftsmanship and are undoubtedly among the finest cigars from Nicaragua. This exceptional quality also convinced Didier Houvenaghel, who entrusts the production of his premium series Nicarao and La Ley to A.J. Fernandez.
A.J. Fernandez Cigars – Tradition Meets Perfection
The Fernandez family has been dedicated to tobacco cultivation for three generations – an invaluable wealth of experience that is reflected in every A.J. Fernandez cigar. A milestone in his career was the collaboration with his father, Ismael Fernandez, who previously worked for many years at Plasencia. Ismael's expertise enriched the factory and helped shape the unique character of A.J. Fernandez cigars.
Another key figure in the success of A.J. Fernandez was Alejandro Robaina, one of Cuba's most renowned tobacco growers. His expertise and mastery in the art of long-filler production inspired Fernandez, who has devoted himself to the secrets of Cuban tradition. This meticulous care can be tasted in every puff of his cigars.
Hand-Selected Tobacco from Proprietary Farms
What sets A.J. Fernandez cigars apart is the exclusive use of tobacco from his own fields. Each blend is carefully hand-selected to meet the highest standards of aficionados worldwide. Whether it’s the bold San Lotano H or the elegant San Lotano Oval, these cigars regularly earn top ratings from industry experts.
Unforgettable Moments of Enjoyment
A.J. Fernandez cigars are known for their full-bodied flavor, often characterized by notes of wood, nuts, and leather, complemented by a subtle sweetness. This quality results from precise craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail. It is no surprise that Nicaraguan cigars, like those produced by Fernandez, rank among the best in the world today.
The Variety of A.J. Fernandez Cigars
The brand offers a wide range of series that consistently guarantee top quality. A highlight is the collaboration between father and son in the New World series, which combines tobaccos from four countries. The New World Connecticut also impresses with its smooth, creamy notes.
