Raised in Cuba and steeped in the rich tradition of the Fernandez cigar legacy, A.J. produces unparalleled premium cigars in Esteli, Nicaragua. Ensuring superior quality, the day-to-day operations are managed under the watchful eye of A.J. with assistance from the rest of his extended family.

A.J. is a family-oriented cigar company based in Miami, Florida. All cigars were blended by A.J. for his personal portfolio and each brand is a unique smoking experience, a testament to A.J’s talent as a tobacco grower 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.

A.J. is truly a master of the fine art of balancing a cigar, always finding that perfect sweet spot of richness and flavour.

Strategically located within the rich and fertile grounds of Nicaragua, AJ has made huge investments all throughout the country in order to produce his very own tobacco from all the major growing regions. A.J. owns and operates 2 cigar factories in Nicaragua. Tabacalera AJ Fernandez de Nicaragua, SA is located in the heart of tobacco country in Estelí, Nicaragua and the San Lotano factory is located 70 km north in Totogalpa.

These 2 factories allow A.J to craft over 100,000 cigars per day all by hand. The artisans that put together the blends and form each cigar we get to enjoy do so employing time honoured methods that have been handed down to AJ from generations past.

VIVA LA VIDA 

When the Viva La Vida range was first released, it didn't have a distributor, A.J Fernandez decided to pick up the line and make the cigar for them in their factory in Nicaragua. It’s the only third-party brand that A.J. Fernandez distributes.
