Tough call, they both have quite a few excellent cigars. The Fernandez smokes are a little more affordable, which is nice.

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 
I have not really smoked any of AJ's cigars other than the diesel.

After smoking that cigar I came home and ordered a box of 30 with a free fiver from Cigar.com. I already had nine left but it was a really impressive cigar. Would be worth it at $8 no less $2.50 a piece.

I guess I will have to try more of his stuff. :ss

I've got some sol cubanos on the way. All the talk of the Diesels has me itching to get my hands on some.

I don't think AJ has the "name" just yet but I think he will, so get them while you can. I do like the lower price, a great value for the flavors.

They make the Arsenio 2000 for approx $6.00 a stick for singles, it's a winner! I don't see or hear much about it and the stick is not widely distributed.

My local purveyor happen to have these and he can't keep them in stock. Sold in boxes of 10 for $50.00 North Carolina money, they are a steller treat!

That's because Casa Fernandez has nothing to do with AJ Fernandez.

Many of us know about the better know brands, like Diesel and Man O' War and Triple 'A' but what about some of the lesser known ones?? Thoughts Reviews etc?

The Fusion that he makes for this little boutique line called Rocky Patel is pretty good.

I have a bunch of those didn't do it for me but only had one so considering the blender is definitely worth a revisit.

-I was thinking more the one's that may be great but are undervalued (ie CHEAP :) )

Yeah, I was just being a smart-ass. I think the Reposado and SCCC really fly under the radar. I think the buzz is picking up, though. The cbid winning bids on the Reposados have been going up lately.

Please scratch the Casa Fernandez. I can understand how it "seems" to be made by him, but it's not.

I plucked a RP Fusion out to try tonight and noticed that there is also the
Fusion MM does AJ do that as well?

Also I seem to recall reading AJ did the Sherpa for Gurkha but it's a distant memory, like so many are these days.

According to this site, he blended both. I haven't seen that claim anywhere else though.

Thanks Kreth. Just scoredd some of the Harencia oscuros. I did try another one of the RP fusion nats and it just didn't do it for me. It ssemed like it was somewhere between wet grass and air.
I have some of the Nica Libre kicking around I am going to revisit them. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 
CI special link thing

Nica Libre Flight Sampler
10 CIGARS (reg.$62.50)
$19.99

They don't come much cheaper than that. I have had one of these and at the time it didn't do it for me but I only had one so maybe I wasn't in the mood or got a bad one or something.

According to a CI/Cigar Bid Special AJ does blend the Fusion MM.


AJ ’Abdel’ Fernandez is the next big thing. It all began in Cuba, where AJ began working with Cuban cigar-making legend Don Alejandro Robaina learning everything there is to know about tobacco growing, fermentation, curing, blending, and cigar making. For nearly 20 years, AJ absorbed this information, and his growing list of super-premium blends were designed to show you how much he learned. Indeed, AJ is climbing the ranks among the world’s top cigar-makers, and this 5-Star Sampler was designed to get the two of you better acquainted.

The AJ Fernandez 5-Star Sampler includes:
1 - Gurkha Sherpa Toro (6" x 50)
1 - Man O’ War Robusto (5.5" x 50)
1 - Padilla Habano Torpedo (6.25" x 52)
1 - Rocky Patel Fusion Churchill (7" x 48)
1 - Rocky Patel Double Maduro Toro (6.5" x 52)

MSRP: $34.40

This list helps. Thank you.
Did an AJ Fernandez zoom on cigarbid -- spent an evening bidding on his cigars.
The boxes arrived today -- La Herencia Cubana Oscuro Fuerte toro, Man O'War toro and Nica Libre torpedo.
Like the extra-thick design on La Herencia box. And the cigars' heft matches the boxes' muscle.
The Man O'War box arrived busted. When you un-snap the box, the top comes right off, leaving the hinges on the box bottom, but cigars seem fine.

I picked up a box of Diesels and the regular LHCs from cbid a few weeks ago. Nice packaging on both.
Sorry to hear about your MoW box. At least the sticks are ok.

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 
So based on CI and there "AJ Fernandez 5-Star Sampler - 5 Cigars"
I think it's safe to add the Gurkha Sherpa and RP Fusion Double Maduro (Fusion MM) to the AJ Fernandez blended cigars list.
BTW I have some of the 5 Vegas AAA on the way. I'll let you know what my mostly useless opinion is. :D

Seems like they do that fairly often on the daily deal, as long as you pick up 2 or more 5ers.

ROTT = Right off the truck.

For anyone interested, cbid just posted a "specials" sale on a 15 Nica Libres sampler. Auction ends Saturday, but if you bid early you may get it at the offering price. http://www.cigarbid.com/auction/lot.cfm?lotID=880284

I'm passing as I bid on some stuff from last Thursday to this coming Wednesday to save on shipping. First time in quite a while I've bought from cbid...as addictive as I remember it! :r Good luck bidding. :tu
