AJ Fernandez Bella Artes
$162.00 – $198.00AJ Fernandez Bella Artes is another one of this company’s best offerings.
This original Bella Artes edition launched in 2017. What makes this brand unique is that while being a medium plus to full bodied smoke, it contains a complex combination of sweetness and spice that remains throughout its entire duration. No doubt, this cigar is another exceptional blend offering giving all AJ fans yet another choice to keep us in his fold! With a 92 rating from Cigar Dojo, their description says it best. “A shockingly full flavor experience from first puff. It doesn’t rely on overused decoys such as ultra sweet or ultra peppery flavors, instead offering a more balanced approach that hits the palate on all fronts.”
Wrapper: Rojita (proprietary hybrid)
Binder: Havana ’92 (Quilalí, Nicaragua)
Filler: Nicaragua (Estelí, Condega & Jalapa) | Honduras | Brazil

AJ Fernandez San Lotano The Bull
$153.00 – $176.40AJ Fernandez San Lotano The Bull is another amazing addition to this very popular line.
With attention to detail, the filler of this jewel is from Fernandez’s fields in Nicaragua, as is the binder. They’re rolled in a fine-looking dark brown Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper that is encased in a cedar sleeve stamped with the silhouette of a bull’s head. The bonus is the box pressing making the draw spectacular.
The San Lotano The Bull is an Official Cigar Thief Red Alert! The Bull edition starts out at 100 MPH and keeps going! Yes, it’s a strong, full bodied smoke, without a doubt. But it’s also complexly smooth while being robust at the same time.With this in mind, Cigar Coop rates it at 92 describing it perfectly. “Besides delivering some great flavors, perhaps one thing that really makes the San Lotano Bull stand out is how smooth and bold this cigar is.”
