The Nasser The Goat by AJ Fernandez cigar started out as a shop exclusive for a cigar lounge in Haiti. But due to its great flavor profile, excellent construction, accessible price, and that it was made by master cigar crafter AJ Fernandez, word got around real fast. And now it is available in select cigar shops and in limited quantities to cigar enthusiasts outside of Haiti. The Nasser The Goat starts out with filler leaves from Esteli and Jalapa, Nicaragua (two regions well-known for their excellent tobacco). The leaves are covered by a Nicaraguan Corojo binder, which is then encased in an enticing dark chocolatey Mexican San Andres maduro wrapper. This awesome blend was developed by AJ Fernandez. The cigars are rolled at his factory in 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
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
Nicaraguan Corojo
The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
Nicaraguan Corojo ’99 tobacco was first used as a wrapper in Cuba during the late 20th Century. It was then grown in Ecuador and eventually in Nicaragua. Primarily, it is used as a wrapper, but it is also used as a binder. It is regarded for its spiciness.
Filler
Jalapa
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
Esteli
Filler is the term used to describe the tobacco inside a cigar or the "guts" of the cigar.
