A.J. Fernandez Blend 15 Robusto Cigar - 1 Single
by Christopher
Slight toothiness to the wrapper which was extremely thin and delicate - as others have stated it is incredibly fragile and prone to ripping although mine did not do so at the cap but under the band. This thankfully didnt badly effect the smoke, which was pleasant throughout and full of deep cedar and earth flavours - tempered occasionally with a hint of nuttiness and spice although these were difficult to differentiate over the strength of the woody flavour. Obviously not as nuanced as other cigars but theres nothing wrong with a lot of strong flavours as long as they are good ones! The draw was a little on the loose side but this complimented the flavours by making it an easy smoke and it burned relatively evenly throughout. Will definitely try this one again to check for consistency but otherwise well worth trying for yourself.

The construction of this cigar lets it down. As others have said, very fragile wrapper.
I didn’t have an issue when cutting the cigar. However, when I removed the band the wrapper gave way completely.
It didn’t effect the smoke too much but still not desirable.
Overall flavour of the cigar is beautiful. Can definitely find better for the price though I’d say.
I probably wouldn’t purchase again as it’s a bit of a gamble with the wrapper unfortunately.

This is a personal bad review. Nothing against this stick it just wasnÂ’t for me. Felt it was just a bit too strong on the flavour. However there is allot of spice and heat. If you like strong smokes I highly recommend, however IÂ’m still a newbie and finding my pallet. Maybe in the future IÂ’ll warm to it. However the draw was one of the best IÂ’ve had.

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 IÂ’m pleasantly surprised to say it has!
This cigarÂ’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, itÂ’s just smooth as silk.
IÂ’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. ItÂ’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 subj

Great tasting smoke unfortunately it did burn unevenly not sure if its my lighting or the cigar but overall a good affordable smoke.

First time buying this brand and I smoked it the first day it arrived. I loved it. Beautiful aroma and the burn was splendid. Mild and smooth this is a wonderful short smoke of about 30 minutes.
These petit robustos are excellent. Very nice smooth wrapper too. Definitely be buying some more!
