(portions of description taken from Cigar Coop website)
The Enclave pays tribute to the native Americans, who were well known to be purveyors of tobacco. Once again, master blender A.J. Fernandez will team up with his father Ismael to produce the blend.
The name Enclave is typically a term used to describe a group enclosed or isolated within a larger group. In the past and present, many native Americans are a part of communities which can be considered enclaves. The same analogy can be made for cigar enthusiasts, who gather together from different walks of life to escape the everyday grind.
The packaging and banding reflect the theme of the native Americans. Both depict images of Native Indians, a representation of the original tobacco enclave.
In a press release A.J. Fernandez commented: “There is no doubt that there is a special bond shared among those passionate about cigars. I experience it daily as I have the luxury of sharing my labor of love with my father, Ismael. We invite you to join our ‘Enclave’ with this special cigar that we have patiently crafted to perfection.”
Enclave is a value priced cigar – falling into the $6.00 and $7.00 range.

The cigar is a medium brown in color and well made. The foot is unfinished.
The test draw after cutting the cap was perfect. The initial flavors at light up were light sweet boysenberry, cinnamon, cream, roasted nuts, and earthy coffee. Black pepper was noted at a 7.5. The finish is roasted nuts and dry wood with a slight amount of cream at this early stage. There is also some nice lingering black pepper.
