AJ Fernandez Bellas Artes Maduro pairs a hearty Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper, near Oscuro in color, with a spiced Mexican San Andres binder and Nicaraguan filler tobacco grown on AJ’s own farms. First released in 2018, it was among the earliest blends to combine a Mata Fina wrapper with a San Andres binder, and it went on to win Cigar Journal’s Cigar of the Year in 2019. Expect a full bodied smoke loaded with dark chocolate, toasted wood, black pepper and hints of black licorice, ideal for smokers who want depth and spice in equal measure.
