AJ Fernandez continues with a similar look from recent releases over the past two years with the new Bellas Artes. What you won't be familiar with, however, is the new and unique tobaccos used. A diverse, multinational blend is brought to life by a proprietary "Rojita" wrapper leaf, made from a hybrid of three tobacco varieties. With so many new brands constantly flooding today's market, a consumer can begin to feel as though we've seen all the combinations—similar blends being recycled in one form or another. That's what's so refreshing about Bellas Artes, its new hybrid leaf feels (tastes) like much more than a gimmick—highlighting the best attributes from the complex blend beneath. This all amounts to a shockingly full flavor experience from first puff. It doesn't rely on overused decoys such as ultra sweet or ultra peppery flavors, instead offering a more balanced approach that hits the palate on all fronts.

Holt's Staff Reviews · Feb 18, 2021

I’m reviewing a cigar from a brand that’s been hot on the airwaves in recent years: AJ Fernandez. I’m smoking the Bellas Artes blend in a hearty 5.5 x 52 Robusto. AJ Fernandez has become a sizeable company in Nicaragua over the past decade. The brand is named for its founder, Abdel Joséf Fernandez, who got into cigar-making through his father and a fascination with local tobacco farmers in his native Cuba.

AJ Fernandez Bellas Artes was a new line at last year’s’ IPCPR trade show. The cigar features a hybrid wrapper Abdel Fernandez has named rojita, a cross between: Connecticut 8212, corojo 99 and Havana 2000. This wrapper covers a Nicaraguan Havana 92 binder and a mixture of Brazilian, Honduran and Nicaraguan fillers. This cigar was reviewed blind (no bands) by a panel of at least 4 reviewers. They did not know what they were smoking beforehand. The scores are an average of all the reviewers' scores with outliers removed. All of our cigars reviewed are shipped to the panelists with Boveda packs to ensure optimal smoking experience. The Bellas Artes come in at a slightly higher price point than recent previous releases. The name Bellas Artes translates directly to Fine Arts, which is appropriate looking at the wrapper and band.

Halfwheel · Jun 30, 2020 · March 2020

I mentioned in my review of the Bellas Artes H-Town Lancero that the profile in this blend is excellent, but that cigar’s low score was due to a major construction issue with one sample.  Thankfully, there were no such problems with the Corona Extras I smoked, so it does not surprise me that the profile was extremely well-balanced and full of complex flavors, including a distinct jalapeño jelly sweetness on the retrohale that really made the first two thirds shine. After smoking three of the Bellas Artes Limited Edition Corona Extra it is an easy cigar to recommend, especially since it is still in stock at the moment.

AJ Fernandez Bellas Artes Habano Robusto

CigarsLover Magazine · Feb 2, 2024

The AJ Fernandez Bellas Artes Habano Robusto is the cigar with the shorter smoking time if compared to the other three vitolas in the Habano line. They come in 10-count boxes. The blend changes quite a lot compared to the Maduro version of the line. The Habano is easily recognizable due to its red […]

The strength is up there, so newer smokers or those that like milder cigars may want to take caution, but if you like fuller strength cigars, this is a must try. I highly recommend that you seek one of these out.
