AJ Fernandez Brings Nasser’s The Goat to the U.S.

Last March, Nasser’s Lounge—a shop located in Pétion-Ville, Haiti—began selling a store exclusive made by AJ Fernandez. Now, that same cigar is heading to stores all across the U.S.

That cigar is called The Goat, a 6 x 52 toro that uses a Mexican San Andrés wrapper over a Nicaraguan corojo binder and fillers grown by AJ Fernandez. Beginning this month, AJ Fernandez—the distribution company—will sell the cigar to American stores. It has an MSRP of $16 and is sold in boxes of 12 cigars.

“This blend is a testament to excellence and craftsmanship in the world of cigars,” says Jeff Nasser, owner of Nasser’s Lounge, in a press release. “It started as a project between two people with a mutual passion and enduring camaraderie, but the profile and construction made it take flight and prompted its introduction into the US market.”
