Help Identifying Cigar

07-28-2011, 01:22 AM

My friend has no idea where he came across this cigar or what it is. I was wondering if you guys could help identify it? He posted the same picture on a pipe forum but no-one had any ideas so I thought I would post on here since this is a cigar forum.

Not sure of the exact name but it's from AJ Fernandez's Tabacalera Tropical factory. They came in wheels of 50 and boxes of 100, I think. Corojo, Maduro, Cameroon and Conn. all with the same blend. I think I remember them being called Factory Direct. Good little cigars!

Thanks! I'll do some research and see if I can find anything confirming it but sounds like you may be right.

Yes, I remember these from years ago. I can't remember the name though. They are from Tropical and these came out back when Pepin was still working there IIRC.

They were a bundle stick and pretty rough when fresh, but with some downtime were ok.

NCRadioman is correct. Here is a picture of them:

BTW, it seems that lynncigars seems to have most all of them.

I know Tabacalera Tropical makes the Casa Fernandez, but they have nothing to do with AJ as far as I know.

You're right bro. I meant to say Eduardo Fernandez.
