Upmann Nicaragua\/AJ Fernandez collaboration and gives it a darker, more mature personality. The triple-fermented Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper is the star, bringing chocolate, espresso and sweetness while the Nicaraguan core provides the depth and spice. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBurnt Leaf Insight\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the kind of cigar that punches above its name. H. Upmann brings the heritage, but AJ Fernandez brings the attitude. The dark wrapper, aged tobacco and coffee\/chocolate profile make this a very easy cigar to recommend to someone looking for a rich, medium-full Nicaraguan smoke without going straight into full-strength territory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Burnt Leaf Lounge","offers":[{"title":"SINGLE","offer_id":47087496986823,"sku":"196043037735","price":16.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"BOX OF 20","offer_id":47087497019591,"sku":null,"price":265.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/0724\/6535\/files\/91690068-32df-4470-8103-e6d714821009.jpg?v=1788458250","url":"https:\/\/www.theburntleaflounge.com\/products\/h-upmann-nicaragua-aj-fernandez-heritage","provider":"The Burnt Leaf Lounge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
