At the 2018 IPCPR Trade Show, AJ Fernandez is teaming up with Altadis again to produce another Montecristo with the launch of the Montecristo Nicaragua.
Montecristo Nicaragua is described as a project conceived by Fernandez along with Altadis’s Director of Product Capability Rafael Nodal. The cigar is produced at Fernandez’s factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. It consists of 100% Nicaraguan tobaccos available in four sizes (Robusto, Toro, No. 2, Churchill) presented in 20-count boxes.
The cigar itself is positioned as a medium to full offering.
This is the seventh project Fernandez has partnered with Altadis and its parent company Tabacalera USA. It is also the third Montecristo Fernandez has produced.
