In March 2019, the new Nicaraguan cigar brand Viva La Vida was introduced to the U.S. market. Created by Artesano del Tobacco and cigar manufacturer AJ Fernandez, these cigars are rolled in Nicaragua using an all-Nicaraguan blend.
Everything began in 2016 when the Artesano Del Tobacco team sought the expertise of renowned cigar maker AJ Fernandez to bring their project to life. Through innovative blending techniques, unique fermentation processes, and meticulous aging methods, AJ Fernandez created these cigars, which promise an unforgettable smoking experience.
The blend features an Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper, while the binder and filler tobaccos come from AJ Fernandez’s plantations in Nicaragua. Viva La Vida is a mild-to-medium-bodied cigar with fresh notes of earth, cedar, cream, and citrus fruits.
These cigars are made at AJ Fernandez’s factory in Nicaragua
