A.J. Fernandez Debuts Enclave Cigar

A.J. Fernandez Debuts Enclave Cigar

Inspired by a theme of brotherhood and camaraderie among cigar smokers, A.J. Fernandez Cigars, the company behind brands like New World and San Lotano, is introducing the Enclave, a new smoke that will officially debut at the IPR trade show. The art on the box and on the cigar bands depicts American Indians, which Fernandez believes is central to the theme.

An enclave is defined as a portion of territory within or surrounded by a larger territory whose inhabitants are culturally or ethnically distinct. According to Fernandez, American Indians represent one of the original tobacco enclaves.

"There is no doubt that there is a special bond shared among those ionate about cigars," said company founder A.J. Fernandez.

Made in Nicaragua at the large A.J. Fernandez factory, Enclave is a three-country blend of Cameroon binder, Nicaraguan filler (including the Piloto Cubano variety grown in Nicaragua) and an Ecuadoran Habano wrapper. The cigar was blended by A.J. Fernandez and his father Ismael and comes in four sizes: Robusto, 5 inches by 52 ring; Toro, 6 by 52; Churchill, 7 by 52; and Figurado, 6 1/2 by 52. Enclaves are rolled with an uncut foot and will retail for $6 to $7.
