AJ Fernandez New World Puro Especial Robusto (5×52)
$22.26
$33.61
A great medium-full-bodied cigar by A.J. and a great value. The construction, as are all A.J.’s cigars, is excellent with hardly visible thin veins. And after smoking almost two boxes of this Puro Especiale it has an easy draw, a consistent burn with rare touch-ups. A smooth dark outer leaf with a toothy smoke that has several flavors surface as the cigar progresses. Initially, for me, some hay and some coffee with the first few puffs offered a peppery cleanse to the palate. It is a very balanced cigar with a slight sweetness Coming in as you get to the 2nd third. The finish offers different notes with strength but no bitterness. This Nicaraguan Habano has become my favorite cigar and I keep some to offer it to guests and cigar buddies. It is a very pleasant smoke and delivers. I will have these on hand as long as A.J. makes them.
