H. Upmann Nicaragua AJ Fernandez Heritage Corona Pack of 5 Cigars
In recent years, AJ Fernandez has been an MVP, of sorts, for Altadis USA, revamping, reinventing, and resurrecting brands that have been flying under the radar for decades. One such brand is H. Upmann, and with H. Upmann Nicaragua AJ Fernandez Heritage Corona, we see the second regular production H. Upmann cigar to bear Fernandez’s name. The first, H. Upmann by AJ Fernandez, was an achievement of its own, but this blend takes things just a few steps further. Made by hand at Tabacalera AJ Fernandez in Nicaragua, this blend features a straightforward blend of premium tobaccos, including Nicaragua fillers, a Nicaraguan binder, and a dark, oily Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper leaf that gives the blend exponentially deeper and richer flavor than its predecessor. This blend earned an impressive trio of 90 ratings in Cigar Aficionado soon after its release, proving that AJ Fernandez just cannot go wrong when it comes to bringing back classics in modern form.
Each cedar chest encasing these premium vitolas appears crafted from exquisite antique wood, each piece proudly displaying the H. Upmann emblem. This same iconic logo graces each cigar’s dark blue and gold band, adding a touch of elegance to every stick. The quality is remarkable: each cigar draws smoothly and produces dense, almost overwhelming clouds of smoke. The flavor profile starts with intensity—a bold burst of Nicaraguan white pepper hits the palate hard, enhanced by the Brazilian wrapper’s natural spice, delivering a powerful, rich experience right from the start. This mellows into a blend of dark chocolate, espresso, and deep tobacco notes, with just a touch of sweetness lingering on the tongue. The finish is long and satisfying, settling into a robust medium-full body. Measuring 5 ½” x 44, this dynamic Corona size packs enormous flavor into a shorter smoking experience.
Made for connoisseurs, this highly-rated treat is not one to be played with. Its fuller-bodied nature and deeply complex flavor profile demand both experience and patience, along with an appreciation for the history behind the name. H. Upmann Nicaragua AJ Fernandez Heritage pairs well with bourbon or port wine and is comparable in stature to Fernandez’s popular Trinidad Espiritu Series No. 2, another classic brand revived by Fernandez himself that also uses a dark Brazilian wrapper. It seems as though AJ Fernandez has the “Midas Touch,” as just about everything he touches turns to gold. It’s safe to say that with impressive masterpieces like H. Upmann Nicaragua AJ Fernandez Heritage Corona, we can’t help but agree!
