As was somewhat predicted, Mayimbe will return for A.J. Fernandez Cigars in 2014. The four-vitola limited edition cigar debuted at the 2013 IPCPR trade show and convention and shipped shortly thereafter.

Spencer Drake, a sales representative for the company, tweeted earlier today that he was smoking a prototype of the 2014 release.

Clay Roberts, vp of marketing and brand creative for A.J. Fernandez Cigars, confirmed to halfwheel that Abdel “A.J.” Fernandez is working on the 2014 release.
