AJ Fernandez is undoubtedly one of the most prolific cigar makers of the modern era. Raised in Cuba, he now operates 10 tobacco farms and 2 cigar factories in Nicaragua. Between these facilities, over 100,000 cigars a day are produced under his watchful eye. His true passion, and why he is able to produce such a wide variety of superior quality premium cigars, is the tobacco that he grows. Without quality materials, your product will never be exceptional. It is this philosophy that drives him to spend equal time between farms and factories. Each tobacco leaf must meet his high standards and each cigar must be expertly constructed. He takes great pride in his creations and would never attach his name to the end product if it didn’t.
The AJ Fernandez Enclave Broadleaf is a special cigar in their diverse portfolio of premium cigars. It was the first cigar in his own portfolio for which he used a Broadleaf wrapper. Sure he’s used this leaf before in other collaborations, but for AJ to select it for his own cigar, the blend had to be something exceptional (and it is). As a follow up to his acclaimed Enclave Habano line, the Broadleaf blend uses a full strength core of Nicaraguan filler and binder tobaccos grown on his farms. The wrapper is thick and meaty and balances some of the more robust characteristics of the core. Tasting notes include flavors of leather, milk chocolate, and earth, with hints of vanilla, pepper, and nuts. The AJ Fernandez Enclave Broadleaf is a substantial cigar that showcases Aj’s talent as a master blender.
