Abdel “AJ” Fernandez worked under industry legend Alejandro Robaina for many years before moving to Nicaragua and starting his dream of producing his own cigars. He has been a big success ever since with his self branded blends, some Internet retailer exclusive blends and most recently, some B&M exclusive blends. Tony actually just reviewed the [...]
I am back again this week bringing you yet another fun blind review in the 11 cigar set that Brooks from Smoking Stogie has kindly sent over. If you are unfamiliar with his site, or just haven’t been there for a while, or you’re just bored, then I strong suggest heading to smokingstogie.com and checking [...]
