Cigar Reveal #328

AJ Fernandez
Enclave Habano

The Enclave was introduced by AJ Fernandez in 2015 as a collaboration between AJ and his father, Ismael Fernandez, continuing the tradition of father-son blending that also produced the New World line. The concept behind the cigar comes from the idea of an “enclave”, a distinct community within a larger culture. 

Produced at Tabacalera AJ Fernandez in Estelí, Nicaragua, the Enclave is designed as a medium-to-full-bodied cigar that blends multiple tobacco traditions into one profile. The blend uses a rare Cameroon binder paired with Nicaraguan fillers and a reddish Ecuadorian Habano Rosado wrapper, creating a cigar that balances spice, sweetness, and body while showcasing AJ’s signature Nicaraguan tobacco.

Over the past twelve months, A.J. Fernandez has made a strong push into the “value priced” market with the releases of New World, New World Connecticut, and now Enclave.  In each case, the company has delivered a high quality smoke that could easily be mistaken for a pricier cigar. Flavor-wise, each of the three releases are very different, but have one common denominator – each has an excellent flavor profile.  The chocolate, cedar, nut, and cream notes really work well together with this blend. This is a cigar I’d recommend to an experienced cigar enthusiast. I wouldn’t discourage one from trying it.  I found this a great cigar to “graduate” to something a little fuller and a little stronger.  As for myself, this is a cigar I’d easily smoke again. It’s definitely worthy of a box purchase.
