WELCOME!
Welcome to the Cigar Bum 2023 Monthlong Smoking! This will now be the official thread for anything relating to this year's event.
QUICK RUN DOWN
If you have no idea on what's going on here:
1. The 2023 "month" spanning 07 June - 07 July is dedicated to a community-wide smoking-togetherness of everthing AJ Fernandez (AJF).
2. If you're smoking anything AJF and would like to share here - please do!
3. There's a Challenge/Contest called the 30/30 that's running along with the Monthlong.
3a. Smoke 30 cigars within the three brands during the 30 days of June...YOU WIN!...(a virtual pat on the back...and MAYBE!...just MAYBE!something else...I dunno yet...BUT YOU WIN!)
3b. Cigars can be the same exact cigars, or totally different (i.e. smoke 30 San Lotanos - YOU WIN!)...IT DOESN'T MATTER!!!
4. Please ask for more info!

So I thought I read about some Nomad being AJF-made - the Therapty is. Thought the Entrada was Nomad, but found out it is also AJF-made.
Entrada ? THE cigar from Omaha. | Cigar Mayven - | Cigar Mayven (http://www.cigarmayven.com/entrada-the-cigar-from-omaha/)

Still have a few need, but going to put the order in soon.

Edit: Taking the Padilla out. This one is from the Raices Cubanas factory:

Edit 2: Found a few more. Unbanded are Privada Farm Rolled. The Sol Cubano are also AJF-made.

I meant to just order one of those Diesel or MOW mega packs from CI so I wouldn't have to think about it - lol.

I'm putting a singles order in at Niceashcigars.com to grab a bunch I'm missing. A lot of his stuff is already discounted and there's some stuff with an extra 20% off.

Most of not all Southern Draw are rolled at Tabacalera Fernandez? I read that AJ also helped with the blending of Rose of Sharon and Jacob’s Ladder, and likely others.
I had to do some research.
There is a Casa Fernandez associated with Aganorsa, Warped, Illusione, Viaje, El Güegüense, Gurkha, et. al. Some damn fine cigars, well except for a few from the last one named, gur..gu..gur..Gurkha. [emoji1785][emoji2961][emoji6][emoji38]
This is not AJ, Abdel, Fernandez. It is Eduardo Fernández and his son, Max. I’d bet they know each other well. Perhaps a distant cousin, so that counts, right?

I don't really know if all Southern Draw are rolled there. I've only briefly read about it and am assuming.

I bought a box in 2015/6 as a new release w/free lighter. This was the first cigar I ever got that was "sick". Pure ammonia. Pissed me off at the time and put me off from smoking anything ROTT.
Well, this is one from that same box and they've been a joy to smoke the last few years.

In my experience, not many mild CTs are nub-able, especially budget brands. Usually only 1/2 - 2/3 of it are smokable, but this one held up and stayed enjoyable.

I believe that was the original blend of the Pinolero and I feel that was an exceptional budget smoke.
Unfortunately, and I hope I'm wrong, they've changed the blend.
But that 2012 was the original blend if I'm not mistaken.

It was good! Sweetness, earthiness, leather, minerals. Not too strong on the pepper. Bit of baking spice. Don't know what it was, there was something that was irritating to the back of my throat.
I thought the New World I smoke the night before was more interesting.

I think I bought these with CI bucks in 2016. Just broke open a five pack (you know, sealed with the green paper behind it) that was stored in my ammodor.
I dont have a reference smoke, but I'd say this one picked up some cedar.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230622/fefa3ba6ba077b02491a0b6e7c99c8b3.jpg

This one's from dinoa2 . It's my first time with it, but now I know why it's a common cigar I see around the Bum - it's great! Being a somewhat new CT wrapper appreciator and enthusiast, I doubt I would've enjoyed this prior to now. With my limited experience of SD, and if I'd not known they were made at the AJF Factory, I would've thought "Caldwell". Thanks again, Jerry!

If you lit it up and gave it a fair shake, I count it.
Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkSounds good. Putting this one on the revisit list, too. I'm tasting the Jochy/La Galera influence and enjoying it, but it's not wanting to burn fully, and I don't think I'm getting the full experience. Chalking it up to needing more rest time, though the SL Habano burned and went very well and arrived at the same time.

It was good! Sweetness, earthiness, leather, minerals. Not too strong on the pepper. Bit of baking spice. Don't know what it was, there was something that was irritating to the back of my throat.
I thought the New World I smoke the night before was more interesting.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
There are some nice things going on. I can't fully rate the other HUp/AJF, but this one is much better. The 1/3 had a nice complexity with the flavors you mentioned. Now the 2/3 is becoming mainly dark earth with a bit of pepper, and not as interesting as the 1/3, but still pretty good.
