Rated No1 Cigar of the Year 2019 by Cigar Aficionado
AJ Fernandez Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Maestro reflects the collaboration between Rafael Nodal and AJ Fernandez, built entirely around Nicaraguan tobacco. It delivers espresso, dark cocoa, earth, cedar, and a steady line of black pepper from the opening draw. A restrained natural sweetness supports the darker core as the smoke develops, keeping the profile balanced and direct. The Maestro format allows the flavours to unfold evenly, producing dense smoke with consistent structure throughout. The finish is long and firm, resting on cocoa, coffee, and pepper. It pairs naturally with espresso, strong black coffee, or a well-aged dark rum enjoyed neat.

AJ Fernandez:
AJ Fernandez Cigars was founded by Abdel “AJ” Fernández, a third-generation cigar maker whose family roots trace back to pre-revolution Cuba. Trained from a young age in tobacco growing and blending, AJ relocated to Nicaragua where he established his own factory and farms in Estelí in the early 2000s. Through relentless focus on quality and full control of the cigar-making process—from seed to finished cigar—AJ Fernández quickly earned a reputation as one of the most influential blenders of his generation.
