The Last Call line has a genuine backstory. AJ Fernandez used to share this blend with guests at his Nicaraguan estate during Monday and Thursday night NFL games — it was always the last cigar of the evening. When guests kept asking for the blend, it became a full commercial release. The name stuck.
What it tastes like
The Ecuador Habano Rosado wrapper gives the Last Call a warm, golden appearance and a characteristic spice-and-sweetness balance. The Geniales at 4.5 inches by 48 ring gauge is compact and efficient — a 30 to 40 minute smoke. Sweet coffee, caramel, and roasted nuts open the session, with zesty retrohale spice keeping it lively. Cedar holds steady throughout. This is Nicaraguan tobacco at its most approachable without going bland.
Who it's for
This is the "last smoke of the night" cigar — or the quick mid-afternoon break. The shorter format makes it accessible without sacrificing the complexity of the Ecuador Habano wrapper. Pair with an espresso or a caramel-forward whiskey that matches the sweetness.
