H. Upmann Heritage by AJ Fernandez Cigars

If you're wondering who this AJ Fernandez guy is making cigars for some of the biggest brands in the industry, he's a Cuban-born, third generation cigar-maker who owns one of the most successful factories in Nicaragua. His style of blending Nicaraguan tobacco has earned him a spot at the top of the industry. The H. Upmann by AJ Fernandez Churchill (7" x 54) is handmade using Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers, Nicaraguan Corojo '99 binder, and a oily Ecuadorian-grown Sumatra wrapper.

AJ Fernandez Cigar Company is a pillar in the Cigar world these days, and for good reason. AJ has been investing heavily in his farms and cigar making operation over the years. The H. Upmann Nicaragua Heritage is the second collaboration between H. Upmann and AJ Fernandez and for good reason. The cigar represents a shared value of tradition and quality by AJ Fernandez and H.Upmann. The collaboration delivers adult premium cigar smokers a varietal deeply rooted in a heritage that has transcended generations. The H. Upmann Nicaragua AJ Fernandez Heritage joins the acclaimed H.Upmann Nicaragua AJ Fernandez with a blend that complements the original with unique extra-aged tobaccos. With a silky, dark mocha Brazilian Mata Fina triple fermented wrapper over a Habano Nicaraguan binder, the cigar boasts a blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos in the filler selected from AJ’s farms. The Heritage delivers a medium to full-bodied smoke.

This cigar was featured at TPE 2022 and features tobaccos straight from AJ’s farms. The binder and fillers are Nicaraguan tobaccos that are from AJ. The only component not from Nicaragua, is the Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper which is a triple fermented leaf. With the combination of these leaves, the profile of this cigar is clocked at medium-full. With a continuation of the epic collaboration between two legends, it’s no wonder why the brand has been around for so long. Grab a box today and enjoy the next chapter of H. Upmann!

Upmann Nicaragua by AJ Fernandez that was released back in 2017. You can expect a medium-to-full bodied smoke with rich expressions of flavor that includes earth, oak, leather, and coffee, all backed by a nice spicy kick on the backend.
