AJ Fernandez Scrooge is an LCA Vault release cellared since April 2025. The blend combines a Nicaraguan Habano wrapper with a Jalapa binder and Estelí filler, presented in a slender Lancero format.

Spicy honey and graham cracker open the profile alongside red pepper, apricot and sesame oil. Cream, cedar and mocha develop through the middle before cinnamon heat emerges with a candy-like sweetness. Aged cedar carries through the finish.
