How are AJ Fernandez and Rocky Patel affiliated? I have been trying to educate myself with everything I can in the cigar world. I noticed in an article from this site that AJ Fernandez is responsible for the for the Rocky Patel Fusion. Are they competitors? work together? Just wondering how these factories work.

    AJ Fernanndez runs a factory and blends cigars for other names. He has blended cigars for Sol Cubano (by Oliva), Rocky Patel/ITC. Basically it is like Rocky outsourcing some of his cigars, he and Fernandez blend it, AJ produces it.
