AJ Fernandez Romeo y Julieta

Nice to see AJ taking some more conventional wrappers and making them shine with a wonderful underlying blend. This is a different kind of Romeo and a very welcome detour from the norm.

I go for any name brand smoke i find in the cedar wrap. Love the heavy cedar wood flavors which are accompanied in this case with spice and cream with some hickory in the background.

I know it sounds crazy but that's what I taste when I smoke this. Remember the swiss miss hot chocolate with the marshmallows...that's it...and it's so addictive

Nice slow fluid transitions from 3rd to 3rd. Like a Supercar getting cranked up on the highway it starts off with a bang of cocoa and spice and when its at top speed in the last third (an hour later) it has your taste buds pinned to the headrest.

Another one! This is a drastic makeover. Bring the spice and power to the forefront on this normally more mellow brand. AJs blending prowess knows no bounds.

This cigar burned perfect and had rich flavors of sweet cedar and malt notes flavored with coco. Medium smooth. I highly recommend this.

Smelled awesome right out of the wrapper, really chocolaty. Draw was perfect but had trouble with the burnt, had to touch up twice. Overall I didn't think it was anything special. Maduro's may not be my thing.

This cigar was a pleasure to take the time and smoke it burned perfect and had rich flavors of sweet cedar and malt notes touched with coco. I would highly recommend this A by AJ Fernandez.

This is an interesting new smoke featuring a beautifully rendered Habana 2000 which can be hard to get right. The smoke was not too spicy on the tongue and makes for a great chewing cigar as well. The flavor reminds me of the PDR 1878 Cubano Especial Capa Madura, even though they don't share any of the same components. I recommend this as an after dinner smoke best paired with a bottle of cognac. Definitely worthy of the name Romeo y Julieta.

I buy all things AJ, and this cigar is excellent. Solid construction, strong ash, and near perfect burn. Another one for my humidor!
