Hostos Fernandez isn’t just rolling cigars—he’s rolling out a new era of Dominican craftsmanship. As the man behind Tabacalera LA iSLA, Hostos has become one of the most respected names in boutique cigar making. From blending magic to mentoring the next wave of cigar talent, he’s redefining what it means to build a factory and a legacy.

In this episode of Not A Cigar Show, Hostos sits down with Fred Rewey to talk about:

The chaos (and beauty) of running your own cigar factory

Building trust with blenders and brand owners

What really makes a blend “click”

The secret sauce behind LA iSLA's fast rise

And yes… a few stories that didn’t make the press releases

It’s equal parts cigar talk, laughter, and behind-the-scenes wisdom from one of the industry’s most down-to-earth innovators.

🎧 Watch. Laugh. Light up. It’s Not A Cigar Show.
