AJ Fernandez has a knack for making world renowned premium handmades. After a March 2025 fire impacted Tabacalera AJ Fernandez Cigars de Nicaragua S.A., his main factory, AJ turned challenge into inspiration. Rising from the ashes like a phoenix, Amar by AJ Fernandez was born. AJ proved that setbacks don’t define him, response does. The name Amar carries deep meaning. Spanish for “to love” and the Arabic word for “moon” Amar is a fitting tribute to AJ’s Spanish and Lebanese heritage. This new release represents passion, perseverance, and a commitment to moving forward stronger than ever.
Amar is a new line by AJ and is a Nicaraguan puro capped off with a rich Habano wrapper. Amar is hand crafted at the San Lotano Factory in Nicaragua. The medium to full-bodied profile delivers nuance of pepper, cocoa, and a touch of cinnamon. Whenever there is a new blend by AJ it has my attention. Amar by AJ Fernandez isn’t just a cigar, it’s a symbol of resilience, heritage, and craftmanship. Make room in your humidor for a cigar born from adversity and blended to be savored!
