AJ Fernandez Belles Artes Maduro

Next month at the 2018 IPCPR Trade Show and Convention, AJ Fernandez Cigars will introduce a maduro counterpart to its Bellas Artes line.

The Bellas Artes brand from AJ Fernandez is going dark. Cloaked in an inky, Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper, Bellas Artes Maduro will be released at the upcoming IPCPR trade show this summer, and it’s blended with plenty of tobacco that Fernandez grows himself.

The Bellas Artes Maduro will feature a Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper, San Andres binder, and all Nicaraguan fillers from Fernandez’ farms. The cigar will be available in four box-pressed sizes – each packaged in 20-count boxes. According to Cigar Aficionado, pricing ranges between $9.00 and $11.00. While it’s a maduro counterpart to Bellas Artes, the Maduro uses different tobaccos for the binder and filler.

While Fernandez has worked with Brazilian wrappers before – most notably on the San Lotano Habano, this will be the first brand in the company’s portfolio to introduce a Mata Fina wrapper.
