| In the world of premium cigars, anniversary releases are a tradition-but few names command the |
| level of respect and excitement that AJ Fernandez does. As one of the most prolific and influential |
| cigar makers of the modern era, his blends have shaped the landscape of Nicaraguan tobacco. Now, |
| to honor two decades of innovation and craftsmanship, he unveils the AJ Fernandez 20th Anniversary |
| Toro, a celebratory cigar that stands as a true testament to his legacy. |

|
| Crafted in Nicaragua using the finest, meticulously aged tobaccos sourced exclusively from the |
| Fernandez Family Farms, this blend is a pure Nicaraguan masterpiece. Wrapper, binder, and fillers |
| are all Nicaraguan, though the precise varietals remain a guarded family secret. Built for richness, |
| balance, and depth, this anniversary blend has already earned dual 91 ratings from Cigar |
| Aficionado, confirming its status among elite celebratory cigars. |

| The cigars arrive in an opulent black-and-gold cedar chest, each vitola adorned with double bands— |
| an elegant 20th Anniversary primary band and the classic thin "AJ Fernandez" secondary |
| that fans have seen across his extensive portfolio. Dozens of blends, countless brand |
| collaborations, and an unmistakable signature style all converge here, honoring tradition while |
| elevating it. |

| On the technical side, the 20th Anniversary Toro performs flawlessly. The draw is effortless, the |
| burn line razor-sharp, and the smoke output dense and aromatic. The first puff delivers a burst of |
| white pepper and cocoa before transitioning into a complex mix of cedar, smoky earth, and bold, |
| raw Nicaraguan tobacco. A subtle note of black cherry and warming spice lingers on the finish, |
| bringing everything together. When the chewy smoke settles, the profile lands firmly on the |
| heavier end of medium-full-bodied, offering a long and immersive session in its 6" x 56 toro format. |

|
| Designed for seasoned enthusiasts, the AJ Fernandez 20th Anniversary is a work of art-luxurious, |
| complex, and deeply satisfying. Its harmonious balance of richness, smoothness, and layered flavor |
| makes it ideal for pairing with a top-shelf bourbon, a mature scotch, or even a strong coffee. |
| Whether you've become a fan through AJ's iconic lines like San Lotano and New World, or through his |
| high-profile collaborations with Romeo y Julieta, Montecristo, or Trinidad, chances are his |
| factory has produced at least one blend that earned a permanent spot in your humidor. |
|
|
|
|
|
| This limited-edition release is no exception. The AJ Fernandez 20th Anniversary Toro is a rare, |
| highly collectible cigar worthy of any premium assortment-a bold celebration of two decades of |
| mastery and one of the finest Nicaraguan puros ever produced. |
