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.

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

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

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.

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

CI special link thing

Nica Libre Flight Sampler
10 CIGARS (reg.$62.50)
$19.99

They don't come much cheaper than that. I have had one of these and at the time it didn't do it for me but I only had one so maybe I wasn't in the mood or got a bad one or something.

[tomc3084]

damn, i had no idea he made anything besides the diesel and mow, thanks for the list....the diesel is awesome, havent tried the mow yet to see how the compare, because ive heard from others they are very similar

[kenstogie]

I have many of the AJ Fernandez blends and was wonderning if anyone would like to trade the ones I don't have for the ones I do.
These are the ones I do have....
Man O' War
RP Fusion
Nica Libre
La Herencia Cubana Oscuro Fuerte

Shoot me a PM if interested.

I'll send first of course.

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
Category: SAMPLERS

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.
