For more than five years, Artesano del Tobacco has worked on developing a unique blend that will capture the imagination and palate of cigar aficionados just like their first release Viva La Vida. And they did. The blend uses a mouthwatering Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper that’s stuffed with premium Nicaraguan tobacco from AJ Fernandez’s farms in Nicaragua. The El Pulpo is a full-strength, full-bodied cigar with a deep complexity that will surround your palate with its pleasing profile. The cigars are expertly hand crafted at AJ Fernandez’s San Lotano factory in Ocotal, Nicaragua.

Cigar Origin
Nicaragua
Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.
Strength

Full
Wrapper Color
Maduro
Cigar wrapper color varies from green (Double Claro or Candela) to black (Maduro or Oscuro) with a full range of browns in between.
Maduro wrapper can go from dark coffee brown with a reddish tint to blackish brown (the latter also called Oscuro).
Wrapper
Mexican San Andres Maduro
The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.
Mexican tobacco is very dark and the best leaves can be used as maduro wrappers. San Andres Maduro is a thick, medium bodied dark leaf, also called San Andres Morron. Like Connecticut Broadleaf, San Andres Maduro is stalk cut and used for binder and wrapper.
Binder
Nicaragua
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Nicaraguan cigar binders are produced mainly in Esteli and Jalapa, both lands with volcanic soil and excellent climate for growing tobacco. Binders grown in Jalapa have sweet undertones. Corojo, Habana2000, Criollo, and Maduro binders are all produced in Nicaragua.
Filler
Nicaragua
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Rolled by
Handmade
Handmade cigars are completely made by hand from start to finish.
Manufacturer
AJ Fernandez
Cuban expatriate AJ Fernandez produces handmade cigars in Esteli, Nicaragua at the Tabacalera Fernandez factory. Fernandez learned everything he knows about tobacco and cigarmaking from his late grandfather, cigar legend Alejandro Robaina.

A potent yet smooth cigar with a rich earthiness, touches of cocoa, spice, and an overall meatiness. Its rustic Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper cloaks a Nicaraguan binder and filler. Handmade in Nicaragua, at AJ Fernandez’s San Lotano factory. “El Pulpo” is Spanish for “the octopus.” And like its namesake, the El Pulpo by Artesano del Tobacco will envelop your palate with its rich complexity and unique retro-hale and never let you go. So, be sure to buy a box or two.

Francisco Torvisco Hi! I'm a little confused, does box of 3 refers to the three that form la culebra in a single coffin? Or box of three culebras?

Michael D.07/18/2025About: El Pulpo by Artesano del Tobacco Robusto Grande Box-Pressed 5" * 56

This was an ok smoke. Disappointed by the taste. Just a rich tobacco taste all the way through. Needed minor touch ups through the burn. For $14+, I would not recommend this one for it being just ok.

Jeremy H.06/29/2025About: El Pulpo by Artesano del Tobacco Toro Grande Box-Pressed 6" * 56

Excellent cigar with a nice steady draw and burn. Peppery with a cherry sweetness. Well worth the price tag.

Christian A.12/20/2024About: El Pulpo by Artesano del Tobacco Belicoso Grande Box-Pressed 5"3/4 * 58

what a powerhouse of flavor of chocolate cake, cafe, earth and hearty finish.

Dan B.12/15/2024About: El Pulpo by Artesano del Tobacco Toro Grande Box-Pressed 6" * 56

Fabulous stick with unique flavors construction and burn were great had a big punch of pepper inn the beginning but faded fast. Sweet brown sugar/caramel throughout with earth nut and coffee coming and going. This is one of those that when you light it you know its something different and good only drawback is it was on the strong side for me I finished but it was at my limit have a good meal before

allan w.11/07/2024About: El Pulpo by Artesano del Tobacco Robusto Grande Box-Pressed 5" * 56

Jeremy H.08/11/2024About: El Pulpo by Artesano del Tobacco Robusto Grande Box-Pressed 5" * 56

Awesome cigar. Tried a hole punch that didn't dig much of a hole but still produced an excellent full draw and steady burn with plenty of smoke. Leathery with chocolate and coffee and pepper on the backside. Thumbs up on this one.

Jose E.08/07/2024About: El Pulpo by Artesano del Tobacco Toro Grande Box-Pressed 6" * 56

Adam G.08/01/2024About: El Pulpo by Artesano del Tobacco Octo Ocho Culebra 7" * 38

my first culebra. was a fun experience that I was able to share with some buddies. the histopry behind the culebra was fun to learn, and figuring out what to do with it was as well. the el pulpo series by AJF is a great smoke in any shape.

Great cigar for the price

Javier C.01/22/2024About: El Pulpo by Artesano del Tobacco Belicoso Grande Box-Pressed 5"3/4 * 58

The El Pulpo by Artesano del Tobacco Belicoso is a medium to full-bodied cigar adorned with a rich Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. Upon lighting, a complex medley of flavors unfolded—notes of cedar, leather, and a subtle spiciness engage my palate, creating a well-balanced and enjoyable profile. The construction was impeccable, providing a smooth draw and an even burn throughout the entire smoke. The aroma was inviting, with a delightful mix of sweetness and earthiness. The El Pulpo Belicoso was a standout cigar, which offered me a memorable and enjoyable smoking experience.

Mark H.01/08/2024About: El Pulpo by Artesano del Tobacco Toro Grande Box-Pressed 6" * 56

An amazing cigar with great strength and flavor.

Ben J.01/04/2024About: El Pulpo by Artesano del Tobacco Belicoso Grande Box-Pressed 5"3/4 * 58

A high quality cigar, which I would expect being made by San Lotano. Very complex and good. I likened the experience to a Padron, where no one flavor really takes over. I'll buy more of these.

Osvaldo A.12/23/2023About: El Pulpo by Artesano del Tobacco Robusto Grande Box-Pressed 5" * 56

I was a bit hesitant about this cigar given the price point and the fact that I knew very little about it. But man, was I surprised. It’s an all around excellent smoke. Well worth the money in my opinion. For sure one of my top 5

Giuliano M.12/22/2023About: El Pulpo by Artesano del Tobacco Belicoso Grande Box-Pressed 5"3/4 * 58

Great smoke

Franz B.12/14/2023About: El Pulpo by Artesano del Tobacco Toro Grande Box-Pressed 6" * 56

Really nice looking cigar, with no burn issues. Great aroma. Flavor good if you like the stronger, traditional nicaragua flavors. Good one.

Mori D.10/08/2023About: El Pulpo by Artesano del Tobacco Belicoso Grande Box-Pressed 5"3/4 * 58

It’s a good smoke but for the price it’s hard to justify. I’d rather get an oliva series v.
