The episode discusses the Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Concerto, a collaboration between Rafael Nodal and AJ Fernandez, highlighting its unique blend and production.
When Rafael Nodal and AJ Fernandez team up, the cigar world listens. Following the massive success of the original #1 Cigar of the Year (2019) and the heavily praised Sonata, the duo has returned with the third movement in their musical lineup: the Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua Concerto. Inspired by the intricate balance of classical compositions, Nodal designed the Concerto to mimic a solo instrument playing alongside a grand orchestra. The “soloist” here is a stunning, exclusive hybrid Criollo ’98 wrapper grown on Fernandez’s Finca La Lilia farm. Underneath, AJ Fernandez orchestrated a blend of deeply aged Nicaraguan tobaccos—some resting for nearly 12 years—to create a complex flavor. Wrapper: Nicaraguan Criollo Hybrid (Finca La Lilia) Binder: Nicaraguan Filler: Nicaraguan Country of Origin: Nicaragua Factory: AJ Fernandez (Factory not specified) Vitola: Toro Size: 6 x 52 Final Score: 89
