Masterful Craftsmanship from Nicaragua
The story of Tabacalera Fernandez began humbly: with just six torcedores producing cigars for other brands. Today, the name A.J. Fernandez represents excellent cigars, whose flavors and quality have gained international recognition. A pivotal moment was the collaboration with his father, Ismael Fernandez, who previously worked at Plasencia and brought his expertise into the factory.

Cuban Heritage Meets Innovation
A.J. Fernandez comes from a family deeply rooted in tobacco farming for generations. His knowledge and passion are reflected in every cigar. Particularly noteworthy is the influence of Alejandro Robaina, one of Cuba's most renowned tobacco growers. Combining traditional craftsmanship with innovative ideas, he creates longfillers that are appreciated by aficionados around the world.
Sustainability and Quality
The tobaccos for A.J. Fernandez cigars come exclusively from their own fields. Each blend is carefully hand-selected to meet the highest standards. It’s no surprise that series like the San Lotano H and San Lotano Oval receive top ratings from experts.
New World – Tradition in New Dimensions
The New World series is a heartfelt project by father and son. It combines excellent tobaccos from Nicaragua and showcases the diversity this country has to offer. Particularly outstanding are the New World Connecticut with its smooth aroma and the New World Dorado, which impresses with its earthy spice and creaminess.

San Lotano – A Name with History
