AJ Fernandez Amar

AJ Fernandez Amar is a Nicaraguan puro that embodies resilience, heritage, and gratitude from one of the world’s most respected cigarmakers. Handcrafted at the San Lotano Factory in Estelí, Amar was born in the wake of a devastating 2025 fire at AJ’s factory and stands as a heartfelt tribute to the people who stood by him and his team during that difficult time.

The name “Amar” carries a dual meaning: in Spanish, it means “to love,” while in Arabic it means “moon,” reflecting AJ’s Cuban–Lebanese roots and the spirit of reflection, gratitude, and new beginnings. Rolled entirely from Nicaraguan long‑filler tobaccos and finished with a Cuban‑seed Habano wrapper grown on AJ’s own estates, Amar offers a medium‑to‑full‑bodied profile layered with cedar, cinnamon, nutmeg, coffee bean, pepper, and dark chocolate, rounded out by a smooth, creamy finish.
