Three generations of Cuban tobacco knowledge now thrive in Esteli, Nicaragua, where AJ Fernandez personally oversees production at his family's Tabacalera Fernandez. Working with volcanic-soil-grown Nicaraguan leaf, AJ has built a reputation for bold, richly flavored blends that overdeliver at their price. New World is the workhorse — full-flavored and exceptionally well-priced. San Lotano explores a range of wrapper expressions with the same depth and balance. Beyond his own label, AJ is one of the industry's most sought-after blenders, crafting cigars for many other respected houses. For full-bodied Nicaraguan character backed by genuine pedigree, AJ Fernandez delivers.
