HISTORY
Raised in Cuba and steeped in the rich tradition of the Fernandez cigar legacy, AJ Fernandez produces unparalleled premium cigars in Esteli, Nicaragua. Ensuring superior quality, the day-to-day operations are managed under the watchful eye of AJ and his father, Ismael, with assistance from the rest of his extended family.
Through a fusion of inherited Cuban techniques and learned patience, Fernandez filler tobaccos are grown from prized seeds which are proprietary only to his family, making them one of the hottest properties in the cigar industry today, with high-quality and flavourful cigars.
Each brand is a unique smoking experience, a testament to AJ’s talent as a tobacco farmer and blender. All components of each blend are selected based on strength, aroma and flavour in order to achieve a smooth and balanced smoking experience. AJ is truly a master of the fine art of balancing a cigar, always finding that perfect sweet spot of richness and flavour. This commitment and talent were recognised in 2022 when AJ received the Cigar Journal Lifetime Achievement Trophy & AJ Fernandez Cigars was named UK Cigar Producer of the Year at a prestigious award ceremony in London.
Such is the quality, AJ Fernandez achieved an industry first by being rewarded with No. 1 Cigar of the Year in 2019 by both the Cigar Aficionado and Cigar Journal!
DIAS DE GLORIA NICARAGUA
With Dias De Gloria, AJ Fernandez honours a time he believes were the glory days of Cuban tobacco. Dias de Gloria is an exceptional Nicaraguan Puro that perfectly encapsulates the essence of the glory days of Cuban tobacco. ’ Dias de Gloria is made up of aged tobacco from four of AJ’s oldest farms in Esteli, Nicaragua: Finca los Cedros, La Providencia 1, La Lilia and La Soledad.
These medium-bodied cigars are smooth with notes of leather, black pepper and cedar and a hint of spice.
