Casa Fernandez Aniversario Returns in July
AGANORSA Leaf has announced that it will be releasing the third installment of its Casa Fernandez Aniversario line this July.
This new vitola will utilize the famed 109 vitola, known for its distinctive head and rounded shoulders. However, it is also getting a box press, and at 6 1/4 x 54, is shorter and thicker than the traditional Cuban size, which measures 7 1/4 x 50.
The blend is a Nicaraguan puro that uses exclusively AGANORSA-grown tobacco and is highlighted by a proprietary shade grown corojo maduro wrapper.
The cigars are rolled completely by hand at the Casa Fernandez Miami factory by a single torcedor, without the assistance of a Lieberman machine, a device commonly found in cigar factories to aid the bunching and binding process.
It will be an extremely limited edition, with just 250 boxes of 10 cigars being produced, a total run of 2,500 sticks. Each will retail for $13.09, before taxes, or $130.90 per box. Terence Reilly, the company’s vp of sales and marketing, said that the cigar will be limited to AGANORSA Select accounts this year.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for Major League Baseball, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
