The Viva La Vida is a very unique addition to the AJ Fernandez portfolio.
What’s important to note is this cigar began as a collaboration between AJ and two respected tobacconists in 2015. While this brand is technically not an A.J. brand itself, the box does say “AJ Fernandez” on it. Now its part of the company’s lineup and has become a very popular smoke.
When noted reviewer KATMAN gave it a 96 rating, his description was short and sweet. ” A true flavor bomb encrusted with pearls of colored spices.” Add this to Blind Man’s Puff ‘s respectable score of 93 and more than kind words as well. “This was an excellent cigar! This is the kind of cigar you look forward to smoking all day, and when you do sit down to smoke it…it delivers!” What more do you need to know!

Joya De Nicaragua Cabinetta is yet another one of this iconic brand’s amazing selections.
The company describes this highly regarded cigar best. “Joya Cabinetta is different. It brings out the best of two different wrappers in one cigar. It was expressly blended with mellower, medium bodied Nicaraguan fillers that deliver a smoother; more refined smoking experience.“
This great tasting mild to medium bodied cigar is completely wrapped in the Ecuadorian Shade along with an additional over wrap of Nicaraguan Criollo placed on the top third of the cigar. Without a doubt, this adds a unique flavor transition to the blend.
With this in mind, it’s no surprise why so many seasoned smokers are rediscovering this time honored brand.

The Caldwell Connecticut T is an amazing collaboration between Matt Booth (of Room 101), Robert Caldwell, and Master Blender A.J. Fernández being produced at Fernández’s thriving factory in Estelí. For the record, the Connecticut T delivers more intensity that your average Connecticut. Every puff yields mouthfuls of tasty smoke, producing an overall profile of consistent medium strength, flavor, and body.
When the highly critical folks at Cigar Dojo rated it a 90, they described it best,” The Connecticut T is a well-balanced, and surprisingly flavorful experience. At times, pepper is the dominant ingredient, at other times, it is primarily sweet, but the cigar rallies in the final third to showcase its optimum experience—being a unique balance of sweetness, spiciness, creaminess, and buttermilk.”

La Flor Dominicana N.A.S. is one of the most interesting additions to this great company’s lineup.
To begin with, for what it’s worth, N.A.S. officially stands for Nasty Ass Shit! Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s get down to what this quirky cigar is all about. Most notably, this old school cheroot is made entirely of Dominican Pelo de Oro Ligero tobacco. With that being said, no doubt this cigar is going to be a powerhouse of sorts.
When Cigar Coop rated it at a very respectable 90, they were spot on. ” While I was fulling expecting a spice bomb, the sweetness I got off this cigar was a pleasant surprise. I can only infer the Pelo de Oro tobacco was working its magic delivering both the flavor and strength. Overall, this is the kind of cigar that is not for the novice.”
N.A.S is only produced in 20 Count Boxes of 5 1/2 x 42 sized Cheroots similar to a Corona. If you’re a of La Flor and haven’t tried N.A.S., you’re missing out on another great cigar from this iconic company.

The La La Flor Dominican Colorado Oscuro is a rich and bold smoke that is not for the light hearted smoker. This thing has some serious kick and a deep flavor profile that keeps you hooked the whole way through. This blend uses a dark and oily Ecuadorian sumatra wrapper to produce flavor notes of spice, leather, and a natural sweetness. With a wrapper of this quality, its clear why the flavors of the Colorado Oscuro are so pronounced. Wrapped over a hearty Dominican sumatra binder, it just makes it all come together beautifully.
Rated 90 at Halfwheel, 90 at Cigar Aficionado and 92 at Cigar Authority, you can’t go wrong with this amazing powerhouse.
