Back in 2010, AJ Fernandez released San Lotano, his first brand. Up to that point he had been making cigars mostly for Cigars International but this brand was close to his heart. San Lotano had been created by AJ’s grandfather in San Luis, Cuba and AJ planned to resurrect it from his startup Nicaraguan factory. The cigar was well received, and even appeared on our very first Top 25 list in 2012, landing in the #8 position. Since then AJ has done nothing but grow his operation into a Nicaraguan

Holt's Staff Reviews · Jan 6, 2022
We’ve reviewed more than a few AJ Fernandez cigars, and that’s because they’re super popular these days. I’m offering my humble appraisal of another blend from our official list of the best AJ Fernandez cigars you can smoke right now: Bellas Artes Maduro in a classic 6 by 54 Toro. In my earlier staff review of the original AJ Fernandez Bellas Artes, I rated the Robusto 91 points, so let’s see how the Maduro stands up to my discriminating palate.Read full review on Holt's Staff Reviews
AJ Fernandez Bellas Artes Maduro Toro
Cigar Coop · Oct 30, 2018
Just prior to the 2018 IPCPR Trade Show, AJ Fernandez Cigars launched a maduro blend under its Bellas Artes line. Appropriately titled the Bellas Artes Maduro, the cigar became the second blend under the Bellas Artes line. Bellas Artes translates to “Fine Arts” in English. The Bellas Artes Maduro is highlighted by the use of […] Key flavors: Mocha (Chocolate, Coffee), Earth, Citrus, Pepper, Cedar.

Halfwheel · Sep 16, 2018 · July 2018
While I’m always looking for high quality tobacco and a complex blend in the cigars that I smoke, there is something quite appealing and satisfying about being presented with a new flavor profile that is different from what could be considered some of the norms on the market today. That is exactly what the Bellas Artes Maduro Robusto does, and while it doesn’t always reach the same high points, it does perform quite consistently, hitting the same notes and repeating the same flavor and strength trajectory. Tack on near flawless construction and you have a cigar worth trying, particularly if you can spend some time focusing on the flavors and experiencing a combination of tobaccos not commonly found among current offerings.

Developing Palates · Jun 19, 2020 · July 2018
The AJ Fernandez Bellas Artes Maduro Toro was a solid smoke and a cigar that fit into some classic stereotypes. It was a Maduro that was dark, rich and strong. The cigar smoked at a full level from beginning to end and the flavors paired perfectly with the body and strength. Finished with beautiful artwork on the bands, this is a great release for AJ.
