Episode Details

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.
