A friend of mine says anything by AJF is great. Even his farts must smell nice. I usually like most of his blends and the work he's done with Altadis is really something, at least with most of them. I had this Crafted by AJ Fernandez yesterday with a bit of home espresso and was very impressed.
When you've tried Cuban R&J cigars, one thing that stands out is that they're not particularly strong cigars. And while I'm not even going to compare the experience between Old vs. New world cigars, this AJF blend is surprisingly not a strong cigar, as most of his blends usually are, even in a robusto.
It's a little coffee and leather bomb, and paired great with coffee. Not a big deal coffee, but it's from Venezuela and harvested at 1750 meters above sea level.
