A.J. Fernandez

Abdel J. Fernandez was born in the San Luis area of Pinar del Rio, Cuba, into a family of tobacco growers. In 2003 he followed his father, Ismael, to Nicaragua, where he first made cigars for other well-known brands before building his own company, Tabacalera Fernandez, in Esteli. Reviving the family name San Lotano helped make A.J. Fernandez one of the best-known blenders in the industry.

His house style is rich and full-flavored Nicaraguan tobacco. We carry New World, Enclave, Bellas Artes, Dias de Gloria, San Lotano and Blend 15, and A.J. Fernandez also makes Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua.

From everyday cigars to his most celebrated blends, A.J. Fernandez stands for consistent quality and big Nicaraguan flavor.
