Aj Fernandez Dias de Gloria Brazil CIGAR REVIEW
zhlédnutí 57Před 21 dnem
This week on Smokin & Toastin we reviewed the Dias de Gloria, and it goes Brazilian! AJ released the original Dias de Gloria line five years ago, and it has been a staple in humidors around the country. Spanish for glory days, the Dias de Gloria was blended by AJ with his father with the cigars he enjoyed, in mind. Now, the line is getting an update with a new Brazilian look! The Dias de Gloria...
Espinosa Mercialago Toro CIGAR REVIEW
zhlédnutí 10Před 21 dnem
This week on Smokin & Toastin we reviewed and rated the Espinosa Mercialago Toro! Often times blends are changed to make them better than their predecessor and when you pair off anything with AJ Fernandez, you’re bound to come out with something amazing. If you haven’t tried this yet then you’re not the hero Gotham needs right now.

    Smoke the Elegancia regularly, but I have often been disappointed with the wrapper. Mainly as you stated, the wrapper cracks. It will usually burn right through it but I have had one or two where the wrapper began to pull itself back further down. Still a great smoke!

    Only thing I would add in my experience is the mild hint of chocolate it has. Well balanced, a bit of an uneven burning but I loved it and fully agree with you. I will buy more of them

    This cigar so reminds me of the FACTORY SWEETS cigar. Not as sweet but probably on par with the FACTORY SMOKES cigar. I’m a new smoker so my palate is Virgin, thus these cigars have an extremely similar taste to me. Therefore, if I want that taste, the Factory Smokes are way cheaper.

  • @tombogaert1015
    @tombogaert1015 Před 4 měsíci

    I bought a few of these. I smoked one when i got home. It was kinda harsh yes. One after aging it 30days, a SIGNIFICANT improvement...wow! What a difference. Had another after aging it 60days, and that smoothed it out even more. Even had a mexican hot chocolate note. Definitely will buy more when i see them, and will have to age them for a bit 😂🤣

  • @ghostdog2041
    @ghostdog2041 Před 4 měsíci

    If nothing else, the M81 has the thickest smoke I’ve ever seen from a cigar. My best friend is a diehard Metallica guy, so I got us a five pack. He was taking a drag, puffing it out, catching the smoke in his hand, and releasing it after three or so seconds haha!

    The Jaime is one of my top 3 sticks. Very prevalent in my regular rotation. (I smoke a wide variety of quality cigars). I'm actually on a kick with them right now, feeling like I want a box on hand. Such great consistency and an approachable flavor profile. I love when I get notes of graham cracker and bit of chocolate. Such an awesome stick, especially for the price. I am happy that you had a good experience with it, as I have.

    AJ Fernandez is my favorite blender. I would put anything by him up against anything Drew estate my father Monte Cristo CAO Macanudo punch, the whole block avo I like the flavors that AJ Fernandez comes up with better than most all the others the only ones that come close to meare Perdomo and foundation.

    • @DougUptonbootay
      @DougUptonbootay Před 3 měsíci

      As far as blenders go, I think him and Jose "don pepin" Garcia of my father are the only class 8 ligadors that I know of. That's definitely an honor. Me personally, I've got jc Newman, my father and Arturo Fuente for my top 3, but i definitely have AJ in my top 10 easily, probably my top 5 tbh. You can't go wrong with AJ. I haven't tried enough Perdomo to form a solid opinion and Foundation is one of the few brands I haven't made it to yet.

  • @strictly45s6
    @strictly45s6 Před 10 měsíci

    For the first bad experiencers, i would suggest give it another try, however, do not buy it online. Buy it from a brick and mortar cigar shop. Walk in. Make sure its moist. It is a very very smooth cigar. Not harsh. No need for multiple relites. And very light smoke. Enjoy!!
