VARIOUS FERNANDEZ PRODUCTS
April 16, 2025

Theme Week 34 = Various Fernandez
(Old World, 601, etc.)
I recently bought a few of A J Fernandez to try them out. I have been quite pleased with them.

There are just so many options available these days, so it will be nice to have a 'theme' week of various products in which A J Fernandez has influence.

History
A. J. Fernandez Cigars has a rich history that includes family tradition, a move to Nicaragua, and collaborations with his father.

A. J. Fernandez's grandfather created the San Lotano brand in Cuba before losing everything during the confiscatory and murderous regime's 1959 Revolution.

Much later, in 2002, A. J. moved to Nicaragua to pursue cigar making. He chose Nicaragua because of its ideal tobacco growing conditions and a growing cigar industry. A. J. started by making cigars for other companies, including Rocky Patel and Cigars International.

In 2010, A. J. revived the San Lotano brand as his own, paying tribute to his grandfather's legacy stolen by the evil communists in Cuba. A. J. often collaborates with his father, Ismael, on blends like New World and Enclave. A. J.'s factory in Estelí is one of the largest in Nicaragua and produces almost 9 million cigars a year.

The factory also has a rolling school that trains people to become rollers for A. J. Fernandez Cigars.
