Thanks to his unyielding commitment to old world standards, for over two decades he’s been widely considered one of the hottest cigar manufacturers in the premium-cigar industry. Today, his state-of-the-art factories includes Tabacalera AJ Fernandez de Nicaragua that’s located in the heart of Estelí, and the San Lotano factory located 43 miles north in Totogalpa. In both locations he continues to produce one top selling blend after another, including many that have received 90-plus ratings from Cigar Afficionado and other major industry publications.
