You're right. According to CI, these are made at the Oliva factory in Esteli. But, I did a little more research, and they are blended by AJ Fernandez.

Thanks for the review...and the reminder that I'm out of these. I like this line of cigars -- especially at c-bid prices!

To me they have a VERY floral flavor and aroma.

OK, one lot of these on cbid says that they're made at the Oliva factory, another says they're made at Tabacalera Fernandez. Anyone know the full story? Is Fernandez a former Oliva employee who struck out on his own?

Fernandez is supposedly a pupil/protege of Alejandro Robaina.


He makes the SCCC, Padilla Habano, I believe 1 cigar for Gurkha, La Herencia Cubana, Man O' War, and a few others.
