With great excitement and pride, Artesano Del Tobacco and AJ Fernandez announced the introduction of El Pulpo. AJ has created patented tobacco using a combination of patience and inherited methods, using the most valuable seeds that are only obtained from his family's farms. This cigar is hand-rolled at AJ Fernandez's factory in Nicaragua using a blend of Nicaraguan binder and fillers. 

El Pulpo "The Fry" is a 4x48 firecracker that uses the same 94-rated powerful Nicaraguan blend and a San Andres Maduro wrapper. These little gems from AJ Fernandez offer all the wonderful qualities of El Pulpo in a more manageable size. Made at the AJ Fernandez factory in Nicaragua, the wrapper was fermented differently from the original to give it distinct flavors.

El Pulpo Octo Ocho is one of the most unique-looking cigars you’ll see. Three cigars with a 7" length and 38 gauge create this Culebra. The cigars are rolled normally, but while they are still moist they are twisted together to guarantee that, once the ribbons holding them together are taken out, each cigar will maintain its own shape. The cigars are designed to be smoked as regular cigars, one at a time, cut from the cap and lit from the foot, despite their twisted look.

Aromas from the wrappers are relatively faint in nature, but you can feel notes of earth, nuttiness, cinnamon, barnyard and generic sweetness. However, scents from the feet are much stronger, with distinct leather leading to gritty earth, oak, peanuts, hay and light citrus peel. Finally, after straight cuts, the cold draws include cinnamon, earth, peanut shells, straw, yeast and berry sweetness.

Every Culebra comes in a single coffin with 3 cigars. You can get the single Culebra coffin by ordering the "5-Pack" option, or get the Full Box with 3 culebras, for a total of 9 cigars!

A strikingly strong, but ultra smooth smoke with distinct earth, leather, spice, and black pepper overtones. Its Nicaraguan Corojo binder and Criollo '98 tobacco filler are encased in a heavily fermented Colorado-colored Habano Oscuro wrapper. Renowned cigar maker AJ Fernandez helped create this blend for Artesano del Tobacco, and it is handcrafted 100% as a Nicaraguan puro.  

Created in Estelí, Nicaragua, by the renowned AJ Fernandez, the Viva La Vida Connecticut puts a sophisticated spin on the brash attitude that made the song so popular. Wrapped in a smooth Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, this cigar has a medium-bodied, rich, complex, and unquestionably pleasing character. 

The blend of Nicaraguan binder and fillers behind the creamy shell is hand-selected to preserve the richness, brightness, and distinctive flair that Viva La Vida smokers have come to expect. With hints of cedar, roasted almonds, sweet cream, and white pepper, each puff offers a rich and well-balanced smoking experience without compromising flavor.

Artista Midnight is the first premium full-bodied cigar of the Artista Series. It features a dark Ecuadorian Habano wrapper and a Connecticut shade binder that offers sweetness. The filler tobaccos are from three countries which provides them an incredible flavor profile. 

Tasting notes: earthy notes of coffee, spice, and chest- nut with a citrus finish

Part of El Septimo's revered Sacred Arts Collection, the Leonardo da Vinci is a refined lancero measuring 7½" × 40. This slender, elegant format allows the wrapper to shine, delivering concentrated flavors of dark espresso, aged cedar, black pepper, and a subtle sweetness that builds throughout the smoke. The Sacred Arts Collection pays homage to history's greatest artistic masters, and this lancero embodies the precision and vision of its namesake.

HOF, which stands for Hall of Fame, is the latest release in the Ortiz Series and honors Ortiz’s induction into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2022. HOF by David Ortiz features a Mexican San Andres wrapper, a sweet Indonesian binder, and a filler blend as powerful as Ortiz’s career. 

With controlled amounts of exotic Sumatran tobacco spices sitting alongside some black pepper, things start off a bit intense but quickly mellow out. Freshly oiled baseball glove leather is also prominent on the tongue, while retrohales favor sweetened chai tea with milk, candied dates, and dark fruits sitting alongside staves of cedar.

It has a rich, well-balanced flavor profile and is medium-to-full-bodied.
