A.J. Fernandez 20th Anniversary

Created to commemorate two decades of A.J. Fernandez’s work in the cigar industry, the A.J. Fernandez 20th Anniversary is a limited-edition cigar that showcases the master blender’s passion for premium Nicaraguan tobacco. Introduced in 2024, the cigar was crafted using carefully selected, aged tobaccos grown on A.J. Fernandez’s Nicaraguan farms. Made entirely from Nicaraguan tobacco, the blend features a dark, oily wrapper complemented by a Nicaraguan binder and filler. The Toro is presented in a substantial 6 x 56 format and handcrafted at Tabacalera A.J. Fernandez in Nicaragua. Its flavor profile centers on rich earth, leather, cocoa, coffee, and wood, with touches of spice, nutmeg, and dark-fruit sweetness. As the cigar develops, the earthy and leathery core is complemented by sweet coffee and hints of black cherry, creating a layered smoking experience. With its medium-full to full-bodied character and limited production, the 20th Anniversary celebrates A.J. Fernandez’s dedication to tobacco cultivation, blending, and craftsmanship.
