La Mia is not made by AJF. La Mia is a cigar" crafted by the tobacco “Dream Team” at Casa Fernandez." I generally love Casa Fernandez cigars and most of them use "Aganorsa tobacco leaf." Aganorsa leaf is used in a lot of cigars and here's a typical selection:

Easy to get confused. Add in a few Don's and we've got ourselves a failure to communicate.

Not the same Fernandez ? Sorry for any confusion, still a good cigar that is worth a try. YMMV

Add LHC Core to the list. A sleeper smoke brimming with spice. Maybe the first of AJ's ovals.

San Miguel went away. label and brand identification (I hear) was too close to Ave Maria's. They were a heck of a nice medium body, full flavor smoke. They are back and now seem to be marketed under Gurkha name. I am sure gurkha snapped up the trademark and who knows where blend will go. For now, I am assuming CI (or Gurkha, or both) are trying to unload old stock. I assume these are the same as the old San Miguel's, but I am on the fence as to picking up a couple bundles on their weekly special.

Yeah I saw this too. IMO San Miguel and Morro Castle both suck. I like nearly everything AJ has put out but these are pretty bad.

Default Re: AJ Fernandez blends

Not sure how to accurately interpret the copy on this sampler:

http://www.cigarbid.com/Auction/Lot/...ler-10-Cigars/
"AJ 'Abdel' Fernandez is living, breathing proof that mild-bodied cigars don't have to be short on flavor. Abdel's use of premium tobaccos, extensively aged and carefully blended, showcases his uncanny ability to produce a full-flavored and eventful cigar no matter what strength it may be. Below is a list of some of the fantastic, mellow handmades coming from his hot-like-fire factory in Esteli, Nicaragua. Soothing blends that truly satisfy without overwhelming the palate - ever!

The A. Fernandez 54-Ring Mild Sampler includes:
1 - A. Fernandez Toro (6" x 54)
1 - Felipe II Toro (6" x 54)
1 - Graycliff G2 Toro (6" x 54)
1 - Gurkha's Castle Hall Toro (6" x 54)
1 - Gurkha's Cuban Legacy Toro (6" x 54)
1 - Gurkha's Park Ave Toro (6" x 54)
1 - Indian Tabac Classic Toro (6" x 54)
1 - La Cuna Habano Toro (6" x 54)
1 - Nica Libre Toro (6" x 54)
1 - Padilla Habano Toro (6" x 54)"

Never comes out and says AJF is responsible for the blends. If that is, in fact, the case, add IT Classic and Gurkha Cuban Legacy to your list. I think it is possible, though, that he didn't blend them all and just oversees production.
