I got an A.J Fernandez New World in a sub pack a while back and was amazed at the quality and taste of the cigar, so I had to try a cheaper cigar to see if the quality held up, and I’m pleasantly surprised to say it has!
This cigar’s wrapper like the New World is so flawless and smooth. You can literally run your fingers across and not feel one vein or bump, it’s just smooth as silk.
I’ve been looking for premium cigars for every other day smokes/relaxation and decided to purchase this particular cigar on price and my last experience with the New World.
Like the other reviewers, I had a wonky burn to begin with but with some minor touch ups, I was happily smoking away and relaxing after many, many days of rain.
Once you remove the band, the cigar looks larger to the naked eye. It’s rather deceiving.
I gave mine a V cut and the toasting was fine, and as I said, the burn was off to begin with but I never let my own sometimes sloppy lighting or a wonky burn out me off.
The smoke is plentiful with a crisp white ash that solidly holds.
The flavours I always believe are subjective, but I got a milky coffee, dark chocolate and cedar.
The draw was absolutely faultless. Not too wind tunnel-like but no knots or resistance.
I didn’t want to break into my more expensive cigars and with the fear of rain and the wife banishing me outside, and not wanting to have an Italian cigar, I chose this cigar, easier on the wallet and so pleasing to the tastebuds.
These could be my new favourite short Robusto’s easily.
I needed the odd touch up, but as I’ve always said, I’m a sloppy lighter at times and it’s always a working progress.
I think I’ll be topping up on these cigars very soon.
All in all, the price, the quality and the flavour is all spot on.
Superb cigar at a superb price.
