I smoked a few more of the A.J. FernandezA.J. Fernandez cigars that I had picked up last week at CigarCigars in Downingtown. I’ve managed to smoke a great many more cigars that are made by AJF for other people than under his own name, but I imagine that’s just a function of scale. The San Lotano was a cigar that I really enjoyed several years ago. The first one was the New World Puro Especiale Robusto… Continue reading

All Saints Solamente Cigar
Most people probably don’t remember when Mickey Pegg was the VP of sales for CAO cigars before General Cigars acquired the company, but he’s back now with the brand All Saints Cigars. He also lives near me, although we still haven’t met, ,which I’m sure will amuse Kevin at Cigarprop. It’s s bit of a running joke between Kevin and I, because I’ve had had the great fortune to have met so many people in my cigar journey. He thinks I know everyone, but there are plenty of people I don’t know, and many more don’t know me 😁. Anyway, meeting up with Mickey is on my list, we’ve discussed it, between the pandemic and schedules, we haven’t managed to make it work out.

Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Nicaragua and Bellas Artes Maduro Cigars
I mentioned that I picked up some new-to-me cigars recently, and one of those was the Romeo y Julieta Reserva Real Nicaragua in the 6″ x 54 toro size. I can’t say as I’ve really taken to a great many Romeo y Julieta cigars, although I do recall enjoying the Reserva Real line the most. I have enjoyed a few of the newer RoMEo blends, although none were particularly mind-blowing for me. As with many cigars in the Altadis portfolio, it seems that the ones I’m drawn to are the ones that come out of the A.J. Fernandez partnership.… Continue reading
