Spotlight Brand: La Herencia Cubana CORE

August 21, 2011 |

A full-flavored, boutique from AJ Fernandez.

The La Herencia Cubana line started as an experiment by AJ Fernandez to capture a new audience in the boutique market by showcasing an affordable premium cigar. In Spanish, La Herencia Cubana translates to “Cuban Heritage,” which pays homage to AJ’s focus on creating premium handmades that are similar in complexity and flavor to those from Cuba’s glory days. 

Inside you'll find a unique, full-bodied, long-filler brimming with Ligero tobaccos from Nicaragua and Honduras alongside Pennsylvania Broadleaf. Outside, you'll see an aged Ecuador Habano Ligero wrapper brimming with oils. Expect a bold array of earthy, leathery, and peppery notes, all-the-while the smoke remaining creamy on the palate. This cigar is rustic yet refined, bold yet smooth, and AJ Fernandez’s trademark use of Ligero will leave you coming back for more.

NOTE: La Herencia Cubana CORE has recently undergone a packaging update. Upon ordering, you may receive either the old packing or the new packaging due to the mixed inventory we currently have available. Please be advised that these are still the same cigars you love, just the bands and boxes have changed. 

Q & A: Leaking Humidor?

Q.
I think my humidor is leaking humidity. How can I tell if it seals properly?

A.
Great question. There are two things to check for. First, does the lid create a proper seal with the body of the humidor? Second, is the humidor manufactured properly; are all the corners flush with each other and all seams sealed? The easiest way to check the seal between the lid and body is to remove all items from your humidor and "drop the lid." Once your humidor is empty, open the lid about 3 to 5 inches and let it drop. If the lid slams shut, you don't have a proper seal. The lid should abruptly fall but when it hits the body it should create an air cushion, thus coming to a halt before settling on the body. If this occurs, you should be able to push down on the lid one final time and feel it close.
