Master blender AJ Fernandez resurrected his grandfather's pre-revolutionary Cuban brand to craft Requiem, a modern Nicaraguan masterpiece offered in three distinct wrapper options — Habano, Maduro, and Connecticut — each draped over unique cores of Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers. The Habano wrapper runs spicy and medium-to-full with bold pepper and leather notes, the Maduro brings silky chocolate depth and rich sweetness, and the Connecticut offers creamy balance with gentle cedar and spice. Each blend showcases AJ's prized "hidden" proprietary leaf. Perfect construction, prolific smoke volume, and bold yet remarkably balanced flavor define the signature AJ Fernandez style in full form. A benchmark collection for anyone wanting to understand lineage-driven blending that honors the traditions of the past through modern technical excellence and a reliable, professional-grade smoking experience every time.
