AJ Fernandez

The Goat was once a single vitola private label for a store in Haiti. Now, it’s offered in Toro, Robusto and Gordo sizes.

The Nicaraguan puro was created to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the AJ Fernandez brand. There are two different vitolas: a 6 x 56 toro gordo packaged in 20-count boxes and a 6 3/4 x 54 Belicoso that is sold exclusively in branded 50-count humidors. 

The AJF 20th Anniversary Toro shipped in late October, the AJF 20th Anniversary Humidor Belicoso is now heading to stores. Blend-wise, both cigars are Nicaraguan puros with tobacco coming from what Abdel Fernández describes as his best farms.

Released last year as an exclusive for Nasser’s Lounge in Haiti, The Goat is now available to U.S. stores. It’s offered in a single 6 x 52 size.

The line is named for the glory days of cigars, which Abdel Fernandez cites as Cuban cigars before Castro took power. But for its newest expression, a

The Días de Gloria Brazil is highlighted by a Brazilian mata fina wrapper. It’s offered in five sizes, four of which measure 6 1/2 inches long.

It’s been 20 years since Abdel Fernández set up his first cigar factory, located in a garage in Estelí, Nicaragua. Now, the company is celebrating the two decades of massive growth with a limited edition line.

Días de Gloria Brazil pairs a Brazilian mata fina wrapper with tobaccos grown by Abdel Fernández in Nicaragua. It is expected to ship stores next month.

The tobacco has reportedly been aged for 10 years before the cigars were rolled.

This affects lines like Last Call, New World and San Lotano.

This summer, a short and slender corona vitola joined AJ Fernandez’s New World Dorado line.
