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.

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.

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.

I bit too.

Can't wait.

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.

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.

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:

Quote:

AJ Fernandez is not the blender or the manufacturer of any of the Casa Fernandez Cigars and never has been! We are part of the agricultural conglomerate Aganorsa in Nicaragua and use 100% Aganorsa Leaf in our highly rated cigar blends...Aganorsa is the largest cuban seed tobacco grower in Nicaragua with farms in Jalapa Valley, Condega Valley,and Esteli. In the current issue of Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 cigars for 2009, we had three of our world class cigar blends listed one of which is our family name Casa Fernandez!

I trust this clarifies your confusion...

Sincerely,

Paul Palmer
Tabacalera Tropical/ Casa Fernandez
President

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

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.
