Last Call by AJ Fernandez

Last Call Habano Cigars If you have ever finished a great cigar but wished for just a little more stick to savor some flavor, then the Last Call Habano cigar is the perfect solution. Originally developed by AJ Fernandez as an exclusive fourth quarter treat for NFL football-watching guests at his factory in Esteli, this small yet robust delight is now available worldwide to fill the gaps in your smoking schedule. Loaded with a plethora of sturdy Nicaraguan tobaccos rolled into a classic petit corona, the Last Call delivers full satisfaction in a relatively short amount of time. Much of this is due to the savory Ecuadorian Habano Rosado wrapper that graces each stick, which proves the extra kick we are all looking for. It is easy to dismiss the 4 1/2 inch long Last Call Habano as a lightweight, but once the heft provided by the 48 ring gauge is in hand, the anticipation begins. Rugged and toothy beneath the simple red and cream colored band, each vitola impresses with excellent construction from cap to closed foot and an aroma of leather and oats. Using his considerable skills, Fernandez has packed an incredible amount of flavor beneath the surface, each smoke flush with toast, pepper, and vanilla from the moment it is lit. Time will seem to slow as the first half quickly ramps to medium-full strength with almond and char, with the second half developing into a creamy smooth experience providing oak and cocoa. At long last, you will put the cigar down and realize only forty-five minutes has elapsed. Dare you find time for another? Packed 25 at a time into attractive cabinet boxes, the Last Call Habano is a cigar you will want to keep around at all times. Whether paired with a morning cappuccino, snuck during a long lunch, or savored with suds while watching the ballgame there's never a wrong time to enjoy one. Or two. We are sure you will figure it out. Last Call Maduro Cigars If the rumors are true and the original Last Call cigar was made for fourth quarter NFL football enjoyment, then the new Last Call Maduro is all about the overtime! Originally developed as in-house delicacies for guests of AJ Fernandez while visiting his cigar factory in Nicaragua, these petit corona sized smokes are as carefully blended and expertly constructed as the rest of AJ's famous creations. A Nicaraguan Puro through and through, the Last Call Maduro's medium-full body and strength are built on a foundation of lush, long-leaf tobaccos hand selected for their quality. The head honcho of the show is the Pennsylvania Broadleaf-seed wrapper, a glossy and aromatic MVP. Taking a page from the same playbook as its older brother, the Last Call Maduro does not dazzle with flash but makes a statement through solid performance. Wearing nothing more than a simple white and gold band, the dark and toothy wrapper promises the palate a good pummeling of flavors ranging from sweet and subtle to in-your-face bold. The kickoff begins with cinnamon, dark chocolate, and leather carried along by thick, creamy clouds of smoke. Taking its time marching up the field, the smoldering stick releases wave after wave of cedar, cherry stem, black pepper, roasted malt, and coffee. By the time you reach the end zone, your taste buds will be crying for mercy. Small in size but long on flavor, do yourself a solid and get in the game right now with some Last Call Maduros. For less than the price of a few beers at a stadium, you can fill your humidor with a full roster of all-star players. Just watch out if you plan on handing them out at tailgate parties because you might end up with your own crowd of rowdy fans. Last Call Maduro Cigars
