This is an awesome smoke. I like the taste of a habano wrap. It has a dry, sweet peppery and nurture taste. This is a nicely constructed cigar that has that aged leather look. The tobacco is burning so evan in this cigar. CA rated it an 89 and I am happy with this. If you haven't tried Fernandez's cigars...you should. They are reasonable in price at $8 bucks a stick.
Tonight I am enjoying a smoke by AJ Fernandez. This is a massive cigar. At least a 60 ringer. The oval shape is a new one to me. I do like the initial hints of spicy cedar and black pepper. This is a good cigar to enjoy after a long day paired with a nice bourbon.
I have really enjoyed smokes by Fernandez in the past. This has a sweetness and richness I like. The draw is smooth and you get chimneys of smoke. If you like 'em a little on the full side...this is right of a medium bodied smoke. This is a monster worth attempting to wrestle!
Enjoying a new smoke today. The WTF by The Outlaw Cigar Company is a treat. This is made by the guys that run the cigar store I frequent. While the name leaves something to be desired, it does have you asking it.
This has a tobacco that is flavorful with hints of spice, vanilla and almost a touch of rum. It tastes really good and is not too powerful. It has a sweetness to it. It has an uneven burn and a super easy draw...almost smokes like a short leaf cigar. Worth trying, especially at the end of a WTF kinda day!
Here is a humidor that I made for myself. It is out if curly soft maple. The curl is amazing on this box.
This box should hold around 100 smokes. I have chosen to go with Xikar for humidification and monitoring.
I dyed the maple a golden brown...almost a dark honey. My favorite wood is Hawaiian koa ... but it is way too expensive for me. This gives me the look if that wood with about a third of the cost. The maple is gorgeous and will do a fantastic job of securing my cigars.
This was a fun project that I will be enjoying for some time.
This is a wonderful night to be on the patio and enjoying a cigar. The one I went for tonight is a oldie but a goody. Anything Pepin is involved with is gold ... this beauty has aged wonderfully for a couple years.
On another note. I am so thankful for my freedoms and that I live in a country that respects them. Always remember those who have sacrificed it all for that freedom. It does not come free! Remember 9/11/01!
