Storage Instructions
For the Aj Fernandez Last Call Habano Geniales (20) keep the cigars in a well maintained humidor to preserve their flavor and structure. Aim for a relative humidity of 65% to 70% with a sweet spot around 68% to protect the delicate Cameroon wrapper. Maintain temperature between 65ºF and 70ºF (18ºC and 21ºC) to prevent expansion and beetle risk. Season a new humidor before use and monitor it with a reliable hygrometer. Store boxed cigars sealed inside the box if possible to maintain a consistent microclimate. Avoid direct sunlight strong temperature swings and locations near kitchens or other strong odors that can be absorbed by the tobacco. For short trips consider using a travel humidor or two-way humidity packs rated for 65% to 69%.
Care Tips
Handle the Aj Fernandez Last Call Habano Geniales (20) with care to preserve the thin oily Cameroon wrapper. Hold each cigar gently by the body and avoid pinching the cap or foot. Remove bands slowly if you prefer a bandless presentation to avoid tearing the wrapper. When cutting use a sharp straight cutter or a quality V-cutter for a clean incision. Allow newly acquired cigars to rest in your humidor for at least two to four weeks to acclimate and marry flavors. If you enjoy aged complexity this blend responds well to cellar aging and will develop deeper notes over six months to three years and beyond for those who prefer a more mature profile. After travel let the cigar rest 24 to 48 hours in your humidor before smoking so it recovers a steady humidity level. Keep ash length moderate and avoid excessive relighting to protect the draw and flavor balance.

Tasting Notes

Expect an elegant Cameroon wrapper-driven sweetness layered over deep notes of espresso, dark cocoa and toasted cedar, followed by a backbone of black pepper and savory leather.

Pairing Suggestions
Aged dark rum – its molasses, toffee and oak notes mirror the cigar’s cocoa and cedar character and soften the peppery finish; Single-origin espresso – the coffee’s concentrated roast and bitter-sweet profile amplifies the cigar’s espresso and dark chocolate facets for a deeply harmonious experience; 70–75% dark chocolate or a tawny port – the chocolate’s bittersweet richness or the port’s dried fruit and nutty complexity complements the cigar’s dried fruit and toasted nut nuances while elevating the smoke’s smooth creaminess.
