Made By: Tabacalera A.J. Fernandez Cigars de Nicaragua S.A.
Factory Location: Nicaragua
Dimensions: 6" by 52 ring gauge
Filler: Nicaragua
Binder: Nicaragua
Wrapper: Nicaragua
Crafted by A.J. Fernandez with his distinct tobacco and signature factory style. Every last leaf in this blend is Nicaraguan and every puff is an overture of flavors that’s at times heavy and rich with notes of dark chocolate and wood, and other times, subtle and understated with hints of fine caramel and toasted almonds. In musical terms, the word for this box-pressed torpedo would be dynamic.
Nodal is still an artist at heart and cigars continue to be his creative outlet. If the birth of Aging Room was his breakthrough, consider the Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Maestro his masterpiece.

DAVID'S CIGAR OF THE MONTH
WARZONE CIGAR
This is a unique cigar! It is the first collaboration between General Cigar Company and Espinosa Cigar Company. The end result is a great tasting cigar.
Warzone will feel familiar to the hardened Espinosa loyalist, though simultaneously distinct, bringing a newfound level of complexity to the company’s famously loud and vibrant smoking profiles. Playing to the wrapper’s subtleties, the body has been subdued, allowing for spicy-sweet nuances of cinnamon, brown sugar, kettle corn, cardamom, and pumpkin spice. It’s a unique experience that takes the sophistication of the famed Cameroon style and amplifies it to a level perhaps not yet seen, allowing a gentle sweetness to deliver an underlying complexity with great effectuation.
Valley Tobacco has the best selection of Arturo Fuente Cigars in the Youngstown area.
Gran Reserva
series is the flagship of the esteemed Arturo Fuente® brand. Representing four generations of family tradition, every Arturo Fuente® cigar carries the personal family touch that makes it one of the world’s finest. Only the highest quality vintage tobaccos and hand workmanship go into Arturo Fuente cigars, resulting in a blend of art and craftsmanship.
Don Carlos
A rich, African Cameroon wrapper over vintage Dominican filler give way to flavors both complex and refined. The slightly sweet flavor produced by the select African Cameroon wrapper is in perfect balance with the savory aroma. Flawless construction, a hallmark of Tabacalera A. Fuente, ensures an even burn and smooth draw, unquestionably among the world’s most elite cigars.Casa Cuba
Which was the final blend created by the legendary Don Carlos Fuente himself – was specifically designed to pay homage to his father, Arturo Fuente, and the Golden Age of cigar making in Cuba and Ybor City in the early 20th century.
The dark golden Ecuadorian wrapper encloses a rich fusion of aged premium Dominican binder and filler tobaccos, thereby creating a perfectly balanced premium cigar. Since its initial release, there has been tremendous demand for Casa Cuba, especially among cigar connoisseurs.
This celebration of tradition still lives on today as Don Carlos’ son and legend in his own right, Carlito Fuente, continues to meticulously blend this line of cigars the “old school way” – as a living memory to his father and grandfather.
Hemingway
A rich, African Cameroon wrapper over vintage Dominican filler give way to flavors both complex and refined. The slightly sweet flavor produced by the select African Cameroon wrapper is in perfect balance with the savory aroma. Flawless construction, a hallmark of Tabacalera A. Fuente, ensures an even burn and smooth draw, unquestionably among the world’s most elite cigars.
Destino Al Siglo
After years in the making, the Arturo Fuente Gran AniverXario Destino al Siglo was master blended to commemorate the company's 100 year anniversary. Made with wrappers from Chateau de la Fuente, this line of cigars uses a Habano seed rather than the Corojo seed variety used to make the renown Fuente Fuente OpusX. The AniverXario Destino al Siglo will delight those who prefer a full-flavor, robust smoke.
Opus X
The Fuente Fuente OpusX is the first ever Dominican Puro, made with a glorious wrapper tobacco cultivated in the mineral rich soils of the Dominican Republic. This cigar is regarded by many as the pinnacle of cigar perfection.
LAST CALL BY A.J. FERNANDEZ CHIQUITAS
A short, stout cigar with an uncut foot. It's a toasty, nutty smoke fortified with chewy, earthy notes and a savory, leathery finish.

H. UPMANN 1844 ANEJO
(JUST RELEASED 2020)
For the first time in the brand’s history, the non-Cuban H. Upmann is getting the Añejo treatment. At the end of the month, Altadis U.S.A. will be shipping the H. Upmann 1844 Añejo, an offshoot line of cigars made with tobacco that the company says is extra aged.
The word añejo is Spanish for “old” or “vintage,” and according to Altadis, all the leaf within the Añejo line is at least five years old.
Made in Honduras at the Flor de Copan factory, H. Upmann 1844 Añejo consists of an Ecuador Habano wrapper, Pennsylvania broadleaf binder and filler from Honduras, Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic.
Micallef
Micallef cigars are handcrafted by the Gomez Sanchez family since 1934 as a partnership between Al Micallef and Gomez Sanchez. The business was started in Cuba by Pedro F. Gomez. These fine cigars are made today in Esteli, with three generations following the same Cuban techniques applied for more than a century.

Buzzwords like “aged,” “limited” and “rare” are thrown around quite a bit, especially in the cigar world, but Rocky Patel gives these words new meaning in his new A.L.R. brand. The cigars are limited, as they’re produced in small quantities; rare because Patel doesn’t release as many of these cigars into the market as he does other brands; and finally, aged, the most crucial and defining claim of these smokes.
According to Patel, each A.L.R. Second Edition cigar is aged for two years after it’s rolled before going to market. While the component tobaccos are already aged, Patel claims that these cigars get a two-year resting period for maturation and added levels of complexity. This probably contributes to the cost. Few Rocky Patel cigars are this expensive.
Astute smokers will recall the First Edition, which came out in 2018. The Second Edition here is a completely new blend consisting of a Mexican San Andrés wrapper and Nicaraguan tobaccos grown on Patel’s farms in Estelí and Condega. Patel started growing tobacco a few years ago and now his tobaccos are starting to appear in his cigars, giving the portfolio an entirely new facet.
This box-pressed Toro has all the sweet, satisfying qualities of malted chocolate and vanilla bean, balanced by an uplifting hint of fresh, shredded coconut. Only 2,000 boxes of this size were created, but Patel will be releasing these smokes in batches as they come of age in his Nicaraguan factory.

ACID TWENTY
20 years and they just won’t stop.
20 years ago, a little cigar called ACID hit the market. If you haven’t heard of it, I’ll fill you in- It’s an absolutely delectable stick imbued with herbs, botanicals, and essential oils, with the recipe and infusion process one of the most closely-guarded secrets in the world of cigars. No one had seen anything like it and no one has been able to successfully copy them to this day, and there are tons of ACID blends to fit any palate. The ACID 20 is the latest addition to this impressive and unique portfolio, and it’s the best ACID released since the omnipresent Kuba Kuba.
Featuring a sweet-tipped Mexican San Andres wrapper over an Indonesian binder and Nicaraguan fillers, this 5” x 52 box-pressed beauty is a blend truly deserving of this milestone release. The medium-bodied profile is the perfect expression of all that Drew Estate has learned from slingin’ ACIDs for 20 years. There’s nothing on the market quite like ACID, and no ACID like the 20, so make sure you grab enough to last you until their 40th anniversary release!
macanudo m bourbon
M Bourbon
The flavored cigar portfolio for Macanudo has expanded with a multi-dimensional new twist on a classic cocktail. M Bourbon by Macanudo harnesses the rich bourbon-flavors of the iconic Old Fashioned cocktail, with sweet, oaky notes, nuances of cherry and a hint of earthy, aromatic bitters.
This is indeed a cigar that brings forth a multitude of taste sensations, and is an ideal indulgence for the cigar lover who seeks a unique departure from the everyday smoke. M Bourbon by Macanudo will be a full-time addition to the Macanudo portfolio.
OLIVA CIGARS
Oliva Serie 'V' Melanio will have you at hello, thanks to gorgeous Ecuadorian-grown Sumatra leaf that's dark, thick, oily, and seamless in appearance. Beneath this leaf, a flavorful blend of long-leaf ligeros from Nicaragua unites, including the Oliva's oldest, most prized leaves from Condega and Esteli, along with some extra tobaccos from Jalapa for more flavor and aroma. Each Melanio is full-bodied and full-flavored, with unique nuances such as black pepper, freshly-baked bread, and unsweetened cocoa. You might also notice some toast and lightly creamed coffee. Either way, you're in for a delicious treat from one of the most celebrated cigar-making families in Nicaragua, let alone the industry.
Great news, the Serie 'V' Melanio was honored as the #1 Cigar of 2014 and earned an impressive 96-point rating, which noted: "has rich, big notes of leather framed by a range of coffee, caramel and woody intonations."
Macanudo Inspirado Palladium
Macanudo Inspirado Palladium is a complex five-country blend that harnesses the time-honored tercio aging technique to deliver a truly exquisite smoking experience.
The tercio process is an old Cuban method rarely used today due to the considerable time and labor required to build the bales and wrap them in the bark of the majestic Royal Palm tree. Only a small group of artisans at Macanudo are skilled in the tercio process which envelopes the tobacco bales in palm bark instead of burlap. The bark forms a tighter seal, trapping in moisture and retaining the tobacco’s natural taste characteristics. This unique process also helps to deliver an enhanced flavor, a pleasing aroma and consistent burn.
Due to the complexity and considerable time associated with tercio aging Inspirado Palladium has limited availability.
CAO SESSIONS
Be the first to try this amazing cigar. It was just introduced at this year's Cigar Show.
CAO SESSIONS
There’s a new CAO line shipping to retailers next week, and unlike most CAO cigars, it’s made in the Dominican Republic, rather than Central America. Dubbed CAO Session, the new line is a collaboration between brand ambassador and blender Rick Rodriguez and Yuri Guillen, factory manager of General Cigar Dominicana.
Shipping to retailers on July 2, CAO Session is composed of a Connecticut broadleaf wrapper, Dominican binder and filler tobaccos from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. It’s packaged in 20-count boxes and comes in three sizes: Garage (5 1/4 inches by 54 ring gauge, Bar (6 by 49) and Shop (6 by 60, )
Although Rodriguez and Guillen worked together in the Dominican Republic 15 years ago, Rodriguez eventually went to Estelí, Nicaragua, to oversee the CAO brand while Guillen remained in the Dominican Republic. According to General, CAO Session marks a reunion of sorts, and is also the first CAO to be made in the Dominican Republic in more than 10 years.
CAO Flathead
Inspired by hot rods and pin-up girls, CAO Flathead is a box pressed collection that hits on all cylinders. Hand-shaped to deliver a striking flat top, the cigar features a brawny Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper and a blend that’s heavy on Nicaraguan leaf. Its frontmarks are named for engine parts, but the tribute to muscle cars doesn’t end there. Flathead gives a nod to the muscle car engine, with a lid that’s easily removI'm a paragraph.

SAN LOTANO DOMINCANO
BY
AJ FERNANDEZ
A CIGAR COLLABERATION
San Lotano is one of A.J. Fernandez’s first cigar brands and was named after his San Lotano farm in Nicaragua. It comes in a number of varieties, including the Habano and Maduro core lines, the contoured San Lotano Oval, San Lotano Requiem Maduro and San Lotano The Bull.
The San Lotano Dominicano represents the first time that Fernandez has collaborated with a third-party company to make a San Lotano brand. It’s also the first time that San Lotano has been made outside of his Nicaraguan factory. A secondary band reads: “AJ & Jochy” to remind smokers of their collaborative efforts
TASTING NOTES
This dark, well-made robusto leaves clear impressions of leather and earth on the palate along with touches of cinnamon, chocolate and stone fruits. The finish hints of licorice.

MAGIC TOAST
REVIEW
A Star Is Born!
Alec Bradley Magic Toast got its name on a night forever etched in my memory. That’s the night, I saw for myself, by flashlight, a crop that was beyond belief. Tobaccos I knew we would find a
special project for. Under the stars, we cracked open a bottle of very special whisky and proposed a toast to our future. Magic Toast was born that evening. Along with a ritual. Toast the end of this
cigar. Celebrate its beginning. And enjoy the magic!
The name of this latest creation from the My Father Cigars factory in Estelí translates to “the great offering,” and it is. Taking both its artwork and name from a defunct Cuban brand that dates to 1913, the band, box and Ecuadoran Habano rosado oscuro–wrapped cigars inside are all equally stunning. Eye-catching packaging can only go so far, however. This cigar, with its medium-full, chocolate-laced flavor mingled with sweet cherries and a dusting of curry, makes us wonder what the original Havana brand must have been like. Certainly not as elegantly rich as this.

OPUS X
The pinnacle of cigar making, the Arturo Fuente Opus X Perfecxion 888 is an ultra-premium Dominican puro that is the apple of many aficionado's eye. Featuring only the finest tobacco the Dominican Republic has to offer, this luxurious medium to full-bodied figurado is extremely rare, and best saved for special occasion.
NICA RUSTICA
Nica Rustica is a medium to full strength cigar that is blended to showcase native Nicaraguan tobaccos from Esteli and Jalapa. Aficionados will enjoy this rustic smoke that is robust and deeply satisfying. Genuine Connecticut Broadleaf encases Nica Rustica and imparts a subtle natural tobacco sweetness and spice.
Additional Info:
This is a medium to full bodied smoke – it is blended to be rustic – un-polished, un-refined, for hard core tobacco lovers.
Con Orgullo (with pride) is embedded deep within the people and the culture of Esteli, Nicaragua. Estelianos have embraced the image of “El Brujito” as a sign of pride and display it though-out their city in iron works, graffiti and sculpture. Carved into stone over 6,000 years ago by a flourishing Pre-Columbian civilization, “El Brujito” literally means “Witch Doctor” or to the locals “the Shaman”. Early Shamanic practices included the use of tobacco in ceremonial and medicinal rituals.
HAVANA HONEYS
This cigar is one of our top selling flavored cigars!
The Havana Honeys brand is one of the original flavored premium cigars on the market. Each artfully crafted cigar is flavored with bold blends of Dominican and Italian tobaccos and finished with a natural leaf wrapper and binder from tobacco cultivated on the islands of Indonesia. These affordable premium cigars and cigarillos deliver Cuban-inspired quality in a variety of sweet flavors. Flavors include rum, sweet honey and vanilla.
JAVA CIGARS
Java cigars are a combined effort from two leaders in the industry.
Introduced in 2004, and released in the 1st quarter of 2005, Java cigars are an exceptionally unique handmade from two of today's hardest working cigar makers: Jonathan Drew of Drew Estate and Rocky Patel. Quite a one-two combo, to say the least, and boy does this cigar pack a punch, not in strength, but in flavor. Java is a subtly sweet Nicaraguan that features a dark, oily maduro wrapper stretched across an aged blend of Nicaraguan long-fillers. While aging, these cigars have been slowly infused with the delicious flavor of gourmet mocha, morphing a traditional Nicaraguan cigar into an incredibly rich cigar that burns smooth from start to finish, leaving an extremely pleasant aroma in its wake.
What's this 'Latte' all about, you ask? The Java Latte employs a silky-smooth Connecticut Ecuador wrapper rather than the standard Connecticut Broadleaf. The result is a mellow and creamy sensation with all that Java awesomeness you've come to love.
LIGA PRIVADA PAPAS FRITAS
The Papas Fritas is part of Drew Estate’s Liga Privada Unico Serie, which features unique blends within the Liga Privada brand family. The Papas Fritas utilizes a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper, Brazilian Mata Fina binder, and Nicaraguan and Honduran filler tobaccos. The small 4.5” x 44 cigar sports Drew Estate’s signature fantail and is the perfect choice for cigar smokers who are looking for a short escape.
Alec Bradley Prensado Lost Art
This cigar features a blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos finished with a gorgeous, dark, and oily Honduran Corojo wrapper. Like its wildly popular cousin, Lost Art boasts immaculate construction, a slow burn, and an effortless draw that your customers will savor. Medium to full body in strength, these decadent luxury smokes are brimming with oak, espresso, buttery leather, and dark tobacco flavors highlighted with a creamy finish and a sweet, musky room note. Prensado Lost Art is yet another top-notch Alec Bradley creation that is destined for greatness.
Cohiba Nicaragua
Cohiba Nicaragua is the brand’s first cigar to be blended and handcrafted in Nicaragua. A luxurious expression of the flavor and complexity of Nicaraguan tobacco, Cohiba Nicaragua is made with the finest hand-selected leaves from Estelí and Jalapa, and crowned with a lustrous Colorado oscuro wrapper. Cohiba Nicaragua ushers in an entirely new dimension of taste to the Cohiba portfolio.
Due to contractual requirements OPUS X are not included in the cigar sale. OPUS X cigars are only available at our Valley Tobacco location. Thank you!

Cigar Size Information
Is the size of a cigar important to the taste and aroma?
Yes, the same cigar blends in different sizes will taste different if there’s a big difference in ring size and length. This is because a big ring gauge, say 50 or 52, produces an immense volume of smoke compared to a 28, 36 or even a 42 ring. Larger ring gauges allow for more filler tobacco which gives a cigar more complexity and allows the cigar to burn slower and cooler. Naturally, this strongly influences taste and aroma. To fairly compare two different blends, you should taste test cigars of the same size.
To a lesser extent, length also influences taste. Besides, if you start with a 7 inch cigar when you’re used to one 5 1/2 inches long, it’ll become 5 1/2 inches long soon anyway – although, believe it or not, the 7 inch cigar at 5 1/2 inches will taste a little different than the one that starts at 5 1/2 inches.
If a manufacturer excels at making a great cigar 42 ring x 6 1/2 inches, it does not necessarily follow that the same brand in other sizes will be as good or as consistent. You’ll have to try a box of each. If you’re not accustomed to smoking a certain size that you might be curious about, maybe you should enlist the cooperation of a friend who smokes that size regularly.
Buying Your First Cigar
With so many choices and a whole new vocabulary, you might not even know where to start. If that sounds like you, try following this brief guide to buying cigars for beginners.
It won't teach you everything, but hopefully it will make your first foray into cigar buying a success.
1. Stick to Valley Tobacco
Buying from a Valley Tobacco has many advantages. You'll have a large selection of quality cigars to choose from. Plus, you can count on the fact that those cigars have been well cared for.
What's more, you'll have excellent guidance. The knowledgeable staff can help you pick out the right cigar and share some cigar tips for beginners. If you really want to learn about cigars, at Valley Tobacco is the perfect classroom.
2. Purchase a few at a time.
When you're just starting with cigars, you won't know what you like, and your preferences will change quickly. That's why it's smart to only buy a few at a time. you'll be able to experiment with a bunch of different cigars, and even more importantly, you won't be stuck with a lot of cigars that you don't enjoy.
3. Start on the mild side.
For a newcomer, full-bodied smokes can be overwhelming and potentially even unpleasant. So one of the most common cigar tips for beginners is to choose mild cigars. They'll ease you into cigar smoking and ensure that you're not turned off at the very beginning.
4. Don't break the bank
As a Valley Tobacco buying tip, you usually get what you pay for. But as a newcomer, there's no need to spend a fortune. You can get a quality cigar for under $10, and at your level, you don't need to light up anything too fancy. Stick to moderately priced cigars at first, and once your palate develops, then you can treat yourself to that extravagant smoke.
Cigar and Beer Matching
It's a good time to be a beer drinker.
And with a growing interest in craft beer has come a growing interest in cigar and beer pairings.
How to choose a cigar that matches your favorite beer is like all things concerning flavor: subjective. Some might swear by one pairing. Others might not fancy it at all. it's about experimenting with different combinations of flavors and finding ones that suit your taste. And that's part of the fun of it.
However, when it comes to cigar and beer pairings, there is one rule that you hear again and again: try to match the type of cigar with the type of beer. That means milder cigars with lighter beers and full-bodied smokes with heavier beers. This helps avoid one half of the pairing overwhelming the other.
You can also try to create cigar and beer pairings around common flavors. For example, a stout with hints of chocolate and espresso could meet its match in a cigar with similar flavors.
