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!
The weather in KC has been so hot (108 on Tuesday) and we are on the patio enjoying this 86 degree night. MI AMOR style.
Just out in wilderness and thought it wise to enjoy the finest cigar known to man. Love this cigar...if you haven't tried one ... you just haven't experienced a truly wonderful smoke! It is rich and flavorful with fine craftsmanship...they are made with care and are always a quality cigar.
Happy Father's Day! I am in the shop working on projects just like my Dad is probably doing. Of course he's a metal worker and I'm a woodworker... That doesn't mean he didn't teach me a ton!
He taught me how to love life and enjoy the simple things... maybe that's why I have so many passions! Relax and enjoy a smoke! The CAO America is a great cigar to enjoy... she's a powerful one! Just like this great country and my dear ol' Dad!
Casa Fernandez has put together another great smoke. These are sweet and oily muduro wrapped treats. Hints of cocoa and roasted hazelnut with a sweet after taste are abundant. This would be a nice pairing with a Boulevard Port. They are high quality and the burn is slow and even. The draw is perfect. Go try one....these don't disappoint!

I enjoyed the Room 101 '808' today. It has a cool label proclaiming that it comes from the City of Angels. While I didn't see any wings on this cigar, it did pack some flavors of vanilla, nuts and a light woody tone. This is a medium bodied smoke that required a little touch up with my lighter along the way as it didn't burn very even.
Overall I enjoyed the smoke and will be trying it again since I bought two. It certainly didn't remind me of the Camachos I've had in the past...and that is a good thing!
