AJ Fernandez's personal, everyday blend.

One of the most unique blends we carry, Puro Authenticos are full-bodied, premium sticks made by AJ Fernandez's very best torcedores. These are AJ's personal, everyday cigars. 

The story behind Man O' War Puro Authentico is rather unique. We've visited AJ's factory many times and every time we've seen AJ smoking a corona-sized Habano-wrapped cigar with a covered foot. He's never told us the blend or what it was for. After constant questioning (he made the mistake of letting us try a few), he finally broke down and admitted he has his own special cigar made in a 5"x42 corona as his everyday personal smoke. Eventually, we convinced him to let us offer these to the Cigar.com faithful and thus, Man O' War Puro Authentico was born. Pick up a pack of 10 today, and experience the same exact cigar AJ created as his everyday "go-to" blend.

Big, Slow Burners.

Mark Twain hails from Nicaragua and contains a unique mix of Nicaraguan long leaves masked with a silky Connecticut Shade wrapper. The result is a mellow-bodied stogie possessing the smooth character of sweet cream and crisp, classic tobacco. Mark Twain's clean finish is first-rate, while the golden shade wrapper keeps the cigar smooth and mellow from head to toe. Perfect with your favorite cup of coffee or as your daily after-work delight, Mark Twain will provide you with big-time enjoyment.

A Bolder Black Market. 

Alec Bradley Black Market Estelí is a full-bodied cigar comprised of a very thick, chestnut-colored Nicaraguan wrapper, two binder leaves (one Nicaraguan, one Honduran), and all Nicaraguan fillers. Made at the same factory as the '95' rated Rocky Patel Decade and the '93' rated, #9 Cigar of 2017, Alma Fuerte, Black Market Estelí is everything I could hope for in a new blend. Expect artful craftsmanship and a profile heavy on the spice with complex notes of pepper, leather, and cocoa. If you regularly enjoy Tatuaje, Illusione, Don Pepín García, or AJ Fernandez cigars, you'll LOVE Alec Bradley Black Market Estelí.
