Bellas Artes Maduro by AJ Fernandez Gordo - Pack of 5

AJ Fernandez gave the Bellas Artes Maduro line a darker, fuller expression by swapping in a Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper while keeping the rich, layered character that made the original blend stand out. In the Gordo size, that means a substantial 6 1/2 x 58 cigar handcrafted in Nicaragua at Tabacalera AJ Fernandez, built with a Mexican San Andres binder and Nicaraguan fillers that include Connecticut 8212, Corojo 99, and Havana 2000 varietals.Expect a profile that leans earthy and sweet rather than simply heavy, with notes of cinnamon, cedar, sweet tobacco, citrus, and a measured touch of black pepper. The larger Gordo format gives this blend a broad, leisurely presentation, and at a relaxed pace it generally offers about 75 to 100 minutes of smoking time. Smokers who enjoy maduro cigars with depth, spice, and a distinctive blend identity will find plenty to explore here.
