Viva La Vida by AJ Fernandez Robusto is a 5 x 54 premium cigar created by Artesano del Tobacco in collaboration with AJ Fernandez. Handmade in Estelí, Nicaragua, this Nicaraguan puro features a Habano Oscuro 2000 wrapper, Corojo '99 binder, and Criollo '98 long-filler tobaccos sourced from Nicaragua.
The original Viva La Vida blend offers a rich, full-bodied flavor profile with notes of roasted coffee, toasted nuts, black pepper, leather, and natural sweetness. Its dark wrapper and distinctive colorful cigar band identify it as part of the original Viva La Vida collection, rather than the separate Connecticut blend.
