Why is Subterraneo special for the cigar industry? This marks a first for cigar consumers, retailers, and distributors. Typically, the best way to understand a blender’s talent behind their particular craft is to experience the brands they own or visit the factories they operate in. AJ has an amazing brand from New World, Bellas Artes, Enclave, and the list goes on. He also blends for companies like H. Upmann, Montecristo, and a whole host of others. However, it is a rare thing to find finished products that spawn from a blender having complete creativity. Privada Cigar Club had a vision in Subterraneo. They wanted to create 14 unique blends that express the spirit of Nicaragua. What better man is suited for the task than AJ? However, when Privada asked him to create the blends, they asked for him to produce whatever he thought would be best, giving him a black canvass to paint. AJ did just that.
Subterraneo is the result of AJ using his tobaccos, some never previously released, and having complete creative control. He emerged with 14 fantastic, unique cigars that express his talent for the leaf. Oak Glen Tobacconist is proud to offer three of those cigars now! Above are listed the names and the wrapper leaves they use. The binders and fillers of each cigar hail from Nicaragua, making each one a Nicaraguan puro. The dedication to the craft true comes in AJ’s cigars, and it is pleasure to try each one. From Hydrar to Kaliumcolel and even Cuprumapo, the Subterraneo cigar collection is an amazing addition to all cigar lover’s humidors. Make sure you get your’s stocked up!
