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.

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

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.

Oh s**t, sorry bout that! Call me clueless in Carolina!

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.

You guys too Nica Libre off the list. It is an AJ blend right?

kenstogie · 03-17-2010, 06:05 PM

Hey I have some of the Nica Libre's, I'll have to dig em up.

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.

I was perusing the Robustojoe.com and found the following listed as AJ Fernandez blends and some other supposed AJ stuff.....

* Gurkha Microbatch S-2
* Gurkha Microbatch C-10
* Gurkha Microbatch TPB-1
* Gurkha Park Avenue
* Indian Tabac Split Decision

Also if you look at this link at Cigar.com about the Indian Tabac Nopareil.

The secret to Indian Tabac Nonpareil rests in its specially selected tobacco, which is fermented using a secret family recipe employed by A.J. Fernandez, the owner of the factory producing not only Nonpareil but also the coveted Indian Tabac 10th Anniversary and Split Decision. This unique tobacco, combined with Rocky Patel's blending expertise, has made Indian Tabac Nonpareil a cigar that is truly "matched by no other". Filled with Nicaraguan long fillers, Nonpareil is wrapped with either a creamy
Connecticut wrapper or a spicy Habano seed wrapper, leading to a complex, medium bodied blend.

Sol Cubano Artisan
AJ (Fernandez) immediately started to explain that this was his best roller and the only one in the factory qualified to make the sought after Sol Cubano Artisan, a barber pole and pinstripe cigar unlike any other in the cigar industry. Watching her work was captivating, and no one moved for at least 30 minutes as we looked on in utter amazement.

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.

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

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
