I just received my cigars I earned by joining CRA. They came in a humidified pouch with a Boveda pack. The cigars smelled wonderful and I figured I better enjoy one. I selected the Fernandez and I fired it up and the patio was filled with a flavors of chocolate and woody tones of cedar. The cigar was bold and powerful yet silky smooth with loads of flavor.
According to the guys at Corona Cigar, "Casa Fernandez cigars are hand made in Nicaragua by cousins Paul Palmer and Eduardo Fernandez. Eduardo is very low keyed and aviods the spotlight, but insiders know that he is one of Nicaragua's largest growers of tobacco supplying almost every cigar manufacturer with leaf."
"This gives Paul the luxury of being able to sort through and set aside the best of the best tobacco leaves as each year's harvest is processed. (Many of these specia reserved tobaccos are used in Flor de Cielo, Illusione and Cruzado cigars as well.) The Casa Fernandez is a wonderfully complex Nicaraguan smoke. " I have enjoyed Illusione from this group.
Casa Fernandez Lancero named #21 on Cigar Aficionado's Top 25 Cigars of the year 2009.
