Rejoice Catholics, Christians, and Crusaders of all kinds! Ave Maria cigar samplers are here to bolster your faith and help you pay homage to the King of All Kings.
(And for those not in the foregoing categories, this is just a fantastic smoke made by A.J. Fernandez with some strong art and branding. It is not required that you make the sign of the cross prior to smoking an Ave Maria.)
That said, if you’re on a journey to recover the Holy Land, this is one of the cigars to pack in your steel-plated travel humidor.
Our samplers include a wide variety of different Ave Maria blends. All are made by A.J. Fernandez (when he’s not busy making blends for literally every other company on Earth). You’ve heard of Diesel, Man O’ War, and other A.J. Fernandez products, but did you know that he was a collaborator on Foundation Highclere Castle, Southern Draw Jacob’s Ladder, or H. Upmann 175th Anniversary?
We’re not exaggerating – the guy seems to eat, sleep, and blend.
Ave Maria cigars typically revolve around Nicaraguan tobacco but have been known to feature leaf grown in Honduras, Ecuador, Brazil, and perhaps even the Connecticut River Valley.
A.J. is responsible for many of the top cigar blends you see on the market today, so this is a fine place to experience some of his high-quality stogies that are a bit more off the beaten path. As for the brand's approach to cigar making, the Ave Maria cigars website has this to say about the flagship smoke: “In a world of stronger and spicier, Ave Maria was made to be simply better.”
For a few blends to keep an eye on:
Ave Maria Immaculata A nice creamy Connecticut that tastes like it’s fresh from the bakery.
Ave Maria Reconquista A dark Brazilian Habano Oscuro wrapper makes this one complex and zesty. And the hefty boxes turn it into a nice showpiece for your desk or tabletop.
Ave Maria Argentum The Argentum has a fat hearty Connecticut broadleaf at center stage for chocolate and spice notes that power the blend to divine heights.
Ave Maria Dark Knight Potent and flavorful, the Dark Knight revels in the dark side of holiness thanks to a perfectly matured Nicaraguan Maduro wrapper.
