Aging Room Marks 15 Years With a New Line and a $1,000 Accessory

Aging Room has released Blue Amber Blue Turquoise, a four-vitola line built to mark the brand's 15th anniversary. The name references amber -- the fossilized tree resin -- specifically the rare blue-amber variant found in the Dominican Republic. Blend-wise it is an AJ Fernandez collaboration: Nicaraguan wrapper from AJ Fernandez's own farms over a Dominican binder and a Dominican-Nicaraguan filler mix, all rolled at Tabacalera AJ Fernandez Cigars de Nicaragua. The line comes in at $43 per stick and is listed as regular production, so there is no allocation scramble. Alongside the line, Aging Room released a Blue Amber accessory humidor piece limited to 225 units at $1,000 each -- a collector's object for those who want the full set. The brand's evolution from its boutique Dominican origins to an AJ Fernandez Nicaragua partnership over 15 years reflects the broader market's gravitational pull toward Esteli production.
