Third Generation
AJ Fernandez is a third generation of tobacco growers and distributors. The company started modestly by manufacturing cigars for other companies. Because it is a difficult market to establish yourself in quickly, they started working with other companies. Among their most popular products at that time was the Rocky Patel Summer Blend. As time went on the company grew and developed, making its first major debut in 1979. At this point, they showcased their popular Man O War. In 2009 another popular cigar was launched called the UnHoly Cocktail. It was the wide-spread popularity of these products that helped turn the company into what it is today. Today, AJ Fernandez makes over nine million cigars annually.
Location, Location, Location
AJ Fernandez is based in Nicaragua. Initially, Fernandez cigars used to only be a tobacco blend that was completely proprietary and can only be produced by them. They have evolved into a much larger company but they still keep their small family company feel. Afterall, A.J. Fernandez is involved in the process every single step of the way. From overseeing the farmers that cultivate the crop all the way through to the manufacturing and rolling of the actual cigars. Although the company is currently in Nicaragua, the family history didn’t start there. A.J. Fernandez’s father and grandfather started in Cuba cultivating tobacco for the United States Agricultural department. This experience that his father and grandfather had of working with tobacco, and learning the ins and outs of the industry, was what ultimately propelled AJ Fernandez cigars into the success it is today.
