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 a Habano Oscuro 2000 wrapper, a Corojo binder, and Criollo ’98 fillers from AJ Fernandez’s plantations in Nicaragua. Viva La Vida is a full-bodied cigar with rich flavors of black pepper, leather, and notes of citrus and dark chocolate.
These cigars are made at AJ Fernandez’s factory in Nicaragua.
