    Well now that I have calmed down about it and am ready to reply I will admit this post has opened my eyes to try other blends. I will agree with smokingdaddy that some of aj more expensive blends ie armada and the new diesel did not wow me haven't had the armada corona yet. I will say the core and ave Maria conq were amazing and I love them.. With my purchase of the little monsters I have been really enjoying DPG and JDN and have a htf padron from bandy that I will enjoy soon which will be my first padron that is not the original. I can see why aj blends don't appeal to everyone and that initial spice that is in all his blends that I love I can see others not enjoying it. Ian open to trading one day and I promise to not send any aj sticks maybe lol. On a side note I can't trash any of your smokes they all look pretty good even the ones I don't like since you enjoy them I respect it. My nature is to talk a lot of trash so I hope it was not taken personal cause it was not ment that way. I will say in meeting aj for a brief period at cigar fest he seemed very humble and extremely nice compared to other famous people thati have met.

    This thread was awesome. I think AJ has blended 842 cigars since this thread was first created. Go AJ go!

    I read through this again and it still makes me giggle. I like aj, but ha has put out several that I don't like just like any other blender ( except for the victor Sinclairs.... I hate all of those things.)

    I don't have time to read this whole thread. What I did read was stupid. Taste is subjective. If you don't like it, then don't buy it.

    Well Charlie I hope you like what I send you because you won the contest. Be at least a week, none of my orders have come in.

    Now that A.J. has a few more blends out...like a 100 or so, this is a good thread to bring back. Tastes do change after awhile. Some of his older blends I don't care for as much as I once did. I still have a full box of Ruination and PA's from a few years ago that I probably won't smoke.

    Have to agree with this old thread, but AJ sticks normally have great construction. Not my go-to stick, but I enjoy some of their sticks. The Fallen Angel is a go-to yard-gar.
    I'll gladly bomb you Tuesday for an Opus today.

    When it comes to blending, AJF is the man. One of my recent favorite AJ blends is the "Viva la Vida" from Artesano del Tobacco. It's a store only cigar and it first started rolling out on the East Coast. Definitely worth picking one up.

    Long time, good to see someone I remember around.  Sure there’s others around.  However, I can accommodate your aged Ruinations.  PM what you’d like in return.

    I had a New World Sumatra and an AJ Hoya - liked the Hoya but NOT the Sumtra. IT was TERRIBLE!!! IMHO!

    New World Sumatra?
    AJ doesn't even list a New World Sumatra on their site and the only place I find a New World listed with a Sumatra wrapper is JR's.
    So it may be an exclusive to JR.

    I saw something about it a week or two ago but honestly didn’t pay it much attention.

    That smoke on JR doesn't look like a Sumatra wrapper, though I know the pics can be generic sometimes. Still, it's only called a Sumatra in the narrative description... Almost looks like a misprint...

    Not sticking up for AJ... I like some of his stuff, but find them generally merely adequate...  

    How many of the "New World Sumatra" cigars have you smoked?  If that was the only one, maybe you just got a dud.  It happens.  How did you determine that it was a sucky cigar and not just outside your wheelhouse?
