AJ FERNANDEZ BELLAS ARTES (MADURO) LANCERO SPECIAL EDITION 10S BOX

First released in 2016, AJ Fernandez's original Bellas Artes cigar — translating to "Fine Arts" — honors the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in old-town Havana, Cuba. The original showcases a proprietary, hybrid-seed "Rojita" wrapper that cross Connecticut 8212, Corojo '99, and Havana 2000 varietals, but this Maduro version debuted in 2018 and trades that hybrid leaf for a Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper. Complemented by a Mexican San Andrés binder and Nicaraguan fillers grown on the Fernandez farms in Estelí, the Bellas Artes Maduro cigar offers notes of pepper and chocolate.
