Casa Fernandez cigars come from Eduardo Fernández Pujals’s Aganorsa Leaf, the name the company adopted in 2018, which grows Corojo ’99 and Criollo ’98 tobacco in Nicaragua’s Jalapa, Condega and Estelí regions. Casa Fernandez cigars were rolled in Honduras before the company moved its core Casa Fernandez line to its new Miami factory in 2011, while its JFR (“Just For Retailers”) line has been made at the TABSA factory in Estelí. Strength varies by blend: the JFR Corojo we list is a medium-bodied 6 1/2 x 52 Nicaraguan puro with a Corojo wrapper, pigtail cap and tucked foot. In halfwheel’s 2014 reviews of the JFR XT Corojo and the Aganorsa Leaf Maduro, typical notes included cedar, leather, nuts, cocoa, earth and pepper with a creamy, vanilla-like sweetness. Start with the JFR Corojo for a medium-bodied introduction to Aganorsa-grown leaf.
Casa Fernandez Cigars
Casa Fernandez is the premium cigar brand created by Eduardo Fernández Pujals, the visionary entrepreneur who founded AGANORSA in 1998 after assembling a world-class team of Cuban agronomists to grow authentic Cuban-seed tobacco across Nicaragua’s finest regions, including Jalapa, Estelí, and Condega. Casa Fernandez cigars were rolled in Honduras before the company moved its core Casa Fernandez line to its new Miami factory in 2011, while its JFR line has been made at the TABSA factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. Casa Fernandez cigars showcase the company’s legendary Aganorsa-grown Corojo 99 and Criollo 98 tobaccos. Lines have included the Casa Fernandez Miami Reserva, rolled in Miami from Aganorsa-grown Nicaraguan tobacco; the Aganorsa Leaf Maduro featuring a dark Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper over Aganorsa Nicaraguan binder and fillers; and JFR (“Just For Retailers”), offered with Nicaraguan Corojo, Mexican San Andrés Maduro and Ecuadorian Connecticut wrappers over the same Aganorsa Nicaraguan binder and filler. Rich and complex, with body that varies by blend and typical notes of earth, pepper, cedar, and natural sweetness, Casa Fernandez cigars suit smokers who want to taste Aganorsa-grown Nicaraguan tobacco.

Frequently asked questions about Casa Fernandez Cigars
Who makes Casa Fernandez cigars, and where are they made?
Casa Fernandez cigars are made by Aganorsa Leaf, the company owned by Eduardo Fernández Pujals. It was called Casa Fernández until it adopted the Aganorsa Leaf name in 2018. The company grows its tobacco in Nicaragua's Jalapa, Condega and Estelí regions.

The JFR line has been made at the company's TABSA factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.
Are Casa Fernandez cigars strong?
Strength varies by blend. The JFR Corojo we list is described as medium-bodied. In halfwheel's 2014 review of the JFR XT Corojo, which was blended to be stronger than the original JFR, the strength stayed just below medium. The same site's 2014 review of the Aganorsa Leaf Maduro Délire found the body close to full at the start, settling to around medium later on.
Which Casa Fernandez cigar should I try first, and how do the lines differ?
Start with the JFR Corojo, a medium-bodied 6 1/2 x 52 Nicaraguan puro with a Corojo wrapper, pigtail cap and tucked foot. JFR stands for "Just For Retailers". The line also comes with a Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper and with an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper, all over Aganorsa Nicaraguan binder and filler. The Aganorsa Leaf Maduro, made in Miami, used a Mexican San Andrés Maduro wrapper over Aganorsa Nicaraguan tobacco. In halfwheel's 2014 reviews of the JFR XT Corojo and the Aganorsa Leaf Maduro Délire, typical notes included cedar, leather, nuts, cocoa, earth and pepper. Treat these as typical notes, not guarantees.
