The Amar by AJ Fernandez is a regular-production Nicaraguan puro produced at the San Lotano Factory in Ocotal, Nicaragua. Created in response to the support received following the 2025 factory fire in Estelí, the release combines a personal backstory with AJ Fernandez's long-established focus on Nicaraguan tobacco. The profile moves from Mexican hot chocolate, baking spices, and sweetness into cedar, coffee, pecan, and bread notes before finishing with a drier combination of nuts and pepper. Excellent construction and a balanced medium-plus profile make Amar an interesting addition to the AJ Fernandez portfolio while offering a more nuanced experience than some hobbyists may expect from the brand.

Yet again, I wonder how much of my frustrations with how a cigar tasted is related to it being overfilled. While not as bad as some recent reviews, if I had my way, the draws would have been looser than what I smoked. However, the thing I’d hope to see changed the most is how sharp the pepper and salty flavors were. The good news is, that sharpness could be reduced with some time in the humidor. If it does, I suspect there’s a decent amount of sweetness to be had from the Amar by AJ Fernandez, something that could make big improvements to the cigar's complexity.

I'm sort of battling myself with this AJ Fernandez Amar Torito. Typically, I have a strong dislike for highly earthy (dirt/soil) type cigars. But even though this cigar had that, there was a richness in other flavors (spice, sweetness, barnyard) that kept me engaged in every draw. Given this, I want to smoke more in the hopes of finding consistency.

Spice, earth, light cream, and ginger ale introduce Amar. Nice and interesting.Smooth draw followed by a generous smoke output. Ginger ale and very light cream flow out the ol' sniffer on the retrohale. Creamy texture on the finish, which provides a soft bed for light spice, clean earth, and bread.Burn struggles a bit through the first half, requiring a to
