You lucky, lucky man! I got a box a couple weeks ago for $64, which is still a great deal, but you stole those bastards!

So far, on the 12 Angry Men sampler, I've had:

Padilla Achilles: Awesome. Not intense, but really good flavor, draw and burn.

Man Of War: Seems like it could have used more humi time, but really good. Really intense flavor, decent burn, good to tight draw.

Sol Cubano CC : Very good flavor, that is unlike most cigars I've had. Excellent burn and draw. I bought a box. I really like these.

Nica Libre: Taste was decent, but could have been better. Burn was off and there was some tunneling. Draw was too loose. Not a bad smoke, but I don't think I need to invest in a box or anything.

Gave away my diesel to a friend, but he said it was great. I'll probably try to get a box or more of these somehow next month.

So far, I've been really impressed with the sampler.

You shuld try the Diesel unholy there gggggrreat! The Nica's some are better than others. The PC's were good that I had but the other sizes were inconsistant. JMTCW of course.

Cigar.com's daily deal is the Diesel Unholy Cocktail 5-pack for $14.95. If you buy two, shipping is free.

not affiliated, but I've been watching for a deal on these for a while now.

I'm glad you like the site, but would like to know what you find to be incomplete. I'm always looking for ways to improve the thing. Also, if anyone has something to add or correct on The Cigar Blender Database, please feel free to contact me through the site and suggest any changes. Thanks

Also, I just posted an article about AJ. I recently visited his factory and was blown away by the quality of his new cigars.

Just looked on C-Bid and someone is bidding 10.00 a piece for singles.......can get a box of 20 for around 100.....

maninblack · 11-05-2010, 06:16 PM

Some people need to work on their math skills. These new blends look good but not for $10/stick.

hopefully he does not lower his standards to meet demand

maninblack · 11-05-2010, 06:36 PM

I agree. I saw a new MOW blend also, the Armada. It was 500 bones for 32!!!

11-06-2010, 11:27 AM

All the new Fernandez blends are terrific... especially the San Lotano Habano. It's a very strong cigar right from the jump, but has a complex smoothness that remains throughout the length of the stick. It a cigar that gets your attention with the first puff. It's only available through local B&Ms but I think it will eventually be sold at cigarsinternational.com. but that's just conjecture on my part. I don't have any official information about that.

bscottskangum · 11-06-2010, 07:02 PM

So, has anyone here tried the Ave Maria and/or San Miguel yet? I am intrigued and thinking of trying to pick up a few.

maninblack · 11-07-2010, 03:48 AM

Same here Barry but just waiting on the reviews to come out.

Brutus2600 · 11-08-2010, 10:45 AM

Just got an email from cigar.com and saw the Ave Maria cigar. I've got to say, as far as cigar bands go, this is probably the most kick-ass cigar band I've seen. Unfortunately that said to me "watch out, it probably sucks." But reading that it's from AJ Fernandez, it kept my hopes from dying completely. I mean seriously though, look at how beautiful this is:

The Holy Grail...what a monster of a cigar. 7.1x58?! (that's not the one pictured) Jeez. But yeah, I'd love to see a review on this line before I pick some up. Cigar.com has a sampler of each size for $49.95, but it's back ordered at the moment

bscottskangum · 11-08-2010, 04:03 PM

I agree about the band, I got a sampler similar to this in route http://www.cigar.com/cigars/viewciga...=SP-CGTEAM24-3

Huskysibe · 11-08-2010, 04:54 PM

I got me a box of the Diesel Unlimited and a 5er of the Ave Maria coming, so I will let you guys know if they suck or not.

Kreth · 12-14-2010, 08:15 PM

Anyone tried the Nica Libre Potencia yet? Noticed it in the last few CI catalogs, haven't gotten around to picking up a 5er yet...
