AJ Fernandez blends
 

So I posted a review of the SCCC, which turned into a discussion of AJ Fernandez. I'd like to put together a definitive list of his blends for my to-do list (and anyone else that likes his blends). Feel free to edit the list:
Casa Fernandez
La Herencia Cubana
Man O' War
Man O' War Ruination
Rocky Patel Fusion (does he do the Double Maduro as well)
Padilla Habano
Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet

ITC 10th Anniversary
Park Avenue (Gurkha)

Ah, forgot the ITC 10th. I read in a review somewhere that he's done a couple of blends for Gurkha, but it didn't specify which ones.

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

Nice post, I am always looking for new AJF cigars to try!

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

Word on the street is that the La Cuna Bin No 85 is excellent. Gotta get my hands on some. :dr

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

I love the Bin 85's. Very Cabaiguan-like imo.

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

That's quite the name.

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

Virtual are you interested in trying one? I'll send ya one.

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

Thanks for the update. How are those Diesels? I've seen them pop up on cbid recently.
Also, I found a mention on a review earlier that Fernandez blends Reposado. Is this the same as the Reposado '96 that's on CI? They don't mention him by name, but they are made in Nicaragua.

I'm still curious if he does the RP Double Maduro, and if he does anything for Gurkha other than the Park Avenue (the review I read mentioned that he's done a couple of blends for them).

12.95 (+5.00 for ship :() for a 5ver of the Diesel Unholy Cocktail
Free ship if you buy two so that'd be 26.00 for a 10 pack
i neverhad them but they look good.

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

I bit on this one. I'll report back if no one else posts. :ss

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

I bit too. ;) Can't wait.

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

I see in the new CI catalog an LHC Oscuro Fuerte, which as far as I've been able to tell is also made by Fernandez. Same PA broadleaf maddie wrapper as the Diesel. I'll have to keep an eye out for deals on a 5er.

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

I saw that and it looked interesting. I am a fan of the regular LHC... Might have to buy a 5er of the LHC Oscuro's.

This reminds me of a thread from a few years ago collecting all the Pepin blends. Fernandez is making great cigars. Glad to see another great blender/cigar maker on the scene. I am sure his star will continue to rise.

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

AJ does not make the Casa Fernandez. This is made by Tabacalera Tropical.

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

I hate to say this, but Wayner is right. This is the reply I got from Tabacalera Tropical when I asked if AJ Fernandez was the blender of Casa Fernandez:

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

I did not check the list but I did a Google search on the one that I added "Nica Libre" That's why I put the stars near it. Either way I am glad that it's cleared up.

Casa Fernandez (REMOVED not a AJ Fernandez Blend)

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

Anyone tried the Reposado Maduro yet? I'm really curious!

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

Smoking one now, I like it for the price, similar flavors as the MoW but less powerfull

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

So would you say the strength is more of a Medium, or Medium - Full?

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

Medium, starts of spicy and peppery, then the chocolate flavor came in (just faint) and it mellows down a bit.

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

Ur Crazy Boh! :D

Thanks for the heads up. I snagged 4. decent price, especially with free shipping on 2 or more. :tu

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

I bit for 2 of em. Good cigar. Didn't know it was one of his blends. I have a few of the signature that I like, and a man o'war that I need to smoke.

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

Let first say that I love many AJ blends but the RP fusion is just so so. Its young but I don't see it having potential later either. It did only cost a buck so I aint complaining too much ;)

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

I have some of the Signature Series and LHC Oscuros resting right now.

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

I just tried the 5 vegas triple a. The PA Maduro wrapper is about as oily as any wrapper I have seen. It also has a ton of veins in it, but it sure looked beautiful with all the oil in there. I think I like the Diesel a little better than this blend but we shall see after I have a couple more.

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

Is it just me or do these guys seem like jerks?

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

This afternoon at the Barn herf I had the best "AJ" blend to date.
Adam(TG) created a couple of Frankengars after the recent thread about wrapper importance. He switched wrappers on a Ruination and a 99 Boli Corona Extra. The Ruination with the Cuban wrapper was amazing. Smooth but still with a hint of spicyness in the background. The opposite wrap with the Ruination wrapper was bland and boring. Amazing what a good wtapper can do to a cigar.:banger

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

Tabacalera Tropical? No, they don't seem jerks to me, they responded very quickly and with a decent and friendly answer. Wayner on the other hand, yeah, I think he's a jerk.

Re: AJ Fernandez blends
 

I really like most everything he has come up with.
