The Fernández factory in Estelí is one of the largest in Nicaragua, producing around nine million cigars a year. In the summer of 2010, Fernández revived the long-defunct San Lotano brand that his grandfather had made in Cuba in the years before the 1959 Cuban Revolution. AJ Fernandez Cigars currently sells its products in more than 32 countries, with sales outside the US accounting for approximately 10% of the company's total sales in 2013.
