AJ’s Personal End-of-Night Smoke

The Last Call Maduro has one of the most authentic origin stories in the cigar world. Originally blended as AJ Fernandez’s personal cigar—crafted in small batches to enjoy with friends at his Estelí home during late-night NFL games—it was never intended for public release. But word of its powerhouse flavor spread quickly, and demand from guests and industry insiders made a national launch inevitable. The Maduro version followed the original Habano release, wrapping the same all-Nicaraguan core in a dark, toothy Pennsylvania Broadleaf wrapper.

A Slim, Bold Format

The Flaquitas vitola—measuring 6 inches by 46 ring gauge—is a lonsdale-style format that delivers a focused, concentrated smoking experience. The thin ring gauge means you taste more wrapper-to-filler ratio, intensifying the bold Broadleaf character. The Pennsylvania Broadleaf Maduro wrapper is grown in Nicaragua from Pennsylvania seed by AJ Fernandez himself, resulting in a rustic, toothy leaf with natural oils that contribute to the cigar’s rich, dark appearance. All Nicaraguan long-fillers and binder complete the blend.

The Blend and Flavor

This medium-to-full-bodied cigar opens with an immediate burst of black pepper and dark chocolate that commands attention from the first draw. As the pepper settles, espresso, charred oak, and leather emerge, creating a rich, layered core. A thick molasses sweetness weaves through the profile, balancing the boldness with depth. The retrohale is spicy and aromatic, carrying notes of cinnamon and warm baking spice. The final third intensifies with charred wood and roasted espresso, finishing bold and satisfying. The slim format makes this an ideal pairing with dark-roast coffee or an evening bourbon.
