AJ Fernandez Blue Cheese

(11 customer reviews)

$12.10 – $242.00

Privada Cigars

Referencing the nickname for the American $100 bill coming from the blue security strip on new bills, Blue Cheese is one of the best Nicaraguan, Habano-wrapped cigars ever made (smoke it, then call us to debate). This is one of the first cigars rolled at Tabacalera Annex, the new AJ Fernandez Privada Cigar Club factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.

Description

AJ Fernandez x Privada – Blue Cheese

Wrapper: Nicaraguan Habano
Binder/Filler: Nicaraguan
Size: 6 x 52 (Toro)
Factory: Tabacalera Annex, Nicaragua
Strength: Medium to Full

The AJ Fernandez Blue Cheese is a strikingly unique and flavor-forward collaboration between Privada Cigar Club and AJ Fernandez, crafted at the acclaimed Tabacalera Annex in Nicaragua. This 6×52 toro showcases a toothy, oily Nicaraguan Habano wrapper that encases a rich, all-Nicaraguan core. With a medium-to-full strength profile and near-flawless construction, this cigar balances boldness with finesse.

From the first light, you’re met with a satisfying draw and an evolving complexity that surprises and delights. The early profile introduces notes of caramel, cinnamon, cedar, and mellow green apple, with a retrohale revealing leather, black pepper, and a touch of sweetness. As the cigar progresses into the second third, the experience deepens with flavors reminiscent of flaky pie crust, roasted apples, bourbon-charred oak, and Brazil nuts, layered over creamy undertones and a citrusy edge.

The final third ties it all together with rich oak, leather, anise, and clove, offering a buttery, long finish and a refined peppery kick. While the cigar leans slightly pepper-forward, it maintains balance throughout and never tips into being overly sweet or savory.

    My new all time favorite. Perfect draw. Thick pack, full of flavors from baking spices to cinnamon to vanilla cake. Not to sweet. Some light pepper and earth. If you want a box now is the time. Next paycheck I’m picking up another!

    Easy draw with light notes of vanilla and cinnamon that soften the pepper notes.

    This Cigar may have been named Blue Cheese for the $100 bill reference, but, it is good funky like blue cheese is. This cigar is complex and funky, again in a good way. This cigar tastes nothing like cheese. My reference is it reminded me of some complexity foods. Just as actual blue cheese is funky-complex and some red wines are spicy, this cigar stands out. It is no plain muster. It is not a mild Connecticut.

    Brian you’s a bad motor scooter! The truth is in the stick, and i’m glad to have purchased! Perfect draw, perfect burn no touch up needed. Blown away by the shine on the wrapper. Well done
