Enclave by AJ Fernandez Toro is a premium cigar handmade in the Nicaraguan Tabacalera Fernandez factory. This blend features a Pilato Cubano strain of tobacco grown exclusively by Fernandez, Nicaraguan long fillers and a Cameroon binder. The gorgeous reddish brown Habano Rosado wrapper is adorned with dual wrappers depicting early Native Americans. This medium to full-bodied smoke is loaded with spices, pepper, cinnamon and cedar. Enclave by AJ Fernandez Toro is 6 x 52 and is available in boxes of 20.
The Enclave natural is a beautiful cigar to behold. It’s a medium to dark brown stick with the signature Rosado hue and a fair amount of oil. The shaft is super smooth with flat veins and tight seams. There are strong cocoa, cedar, coffee, and nuts notes on the shaft and cold draw, after clipping the semi closed foot.
Dominant flavors are milk chocolate, roasted coffee, cedar, cinnamon, spice, earth, and pepper. You may also find a toasty graham cracker disposition, nutmeg, and leather all within a thick chewy miasma. The Ecuadorian Habano Rosado wrapper highlights notes of spice, sweet caramel, pepper, pecan, and a delectable woodsy savor. Sweet creaminess perfectly balances spice, pepper, and cedar.
When all is said and done, this is a medium strength cigar with a full body which confirms the original intend of finesse over force. Enclave Natural has done so well among cigar aficionados garnering a 92 rating from both Cigar Aficionado and Cigar Coop. It comes in Robusto (5 x 52), Toro (6 x 52), Figurado (6.5 x 52), and Churchill (7 x 52).
Final Thoughts
AJ Fernandez Enclave is an anytime cigar. Enclave joined AJ Fernandez’s portfolio of value-priced amazing cigars. Which naturally made these bad boys into humidor mainstays.
To me, the Enclave duo is not really about palate, I think it’s about the mood. Sometimes you want a mild flavorful smoke so you go with the natural; other times you want a slap upside the head so you reach for the broadleaf. Whichever mood you’re in, I bet an Enclave can do something about it.
