This AJ has been sitting around for almost a year now. I had completely forgotten about them. Then I drop the thing trying to take a picture and crack the cap. 🤦🏽♂️

This one is actually smoking good so far, definitely not the old blend flavor wise, but at least it’s burning and not plugged, hopefully the three year down time improved the outcome.
Burning fairly decent but has very little flavor, basic filler tobacco and I highly doubt that this wrapper is a true Arapiraca wrapper, if it is, it’s the least flavorful I’ve ever had lol. Ho-hum stick and it’s getting pitched, not worth smoking. $150 down the drain on these.

I think I have a few of these remaining that I ended up buying and not thinking much of. I didn't know then about the reblend. Got to be careful when reading the older recommendations on this site because of the changes in crops and resulting blending that can make it a completely different cigar without changing the name or branding on the cigar.

Cigars are great and so is this
A good cigar and whiskey solve most problems.

Hope it was good for you Shawn
Long time no smoke, AJ getting me back into it
This story is so short it makes Harrison Bergeron seem like a novel.
Also, never had a Fuente before.

Need something great after that disaster, moving on:
