Amar by AJ Fernandez

AJ Fernandez has built a global reputation for producing some of the finest premium handmade cigars—and when adversity struck in March 2025 with a fire at his primary factory, he responded the only way he knows how: by creating something exceptional. From that moment came Amar by AJ Fernandez, a cigar born from resilience and driven by purpose. Rather than letting the setback define him, AJ transformed it into inspiration, proving that true craftsmanship rises above any challenge.

The name Amar carries powerful meaning, blending cultures that are central to AJ’s identity. In Spanish, it means “to love,” while in Arabic it translates to “moon”—a tribute to his Spanish and Lebanese roots. This release stands as a reflection of passion, perseverance, and the determination to come back stronger. It’s more than a name; it’s a story woven into every cigar.

Handcrafted at the San Lotano Factory in Nicaragua, Amar is a Nicaraguan puro finished with a rich Habano wrapper. The medium to full-bodied profile delivers a balanced yet expressive experience, featuring notes of pepper, cocoa, and a subtle touch of cinnamon. As with any new blend from AJ, expectations run high—and Amar delivers. This isn’t just another addition to the lineup, it’s a statement piece worthy of a place in any humidor.
