[Browns7213]

You cheeky bastard claiming everyday as AJ Day? Brilliant!

[Tombstone]

Why limit it. Just when the mood hits you light one up.

I'm lighting up a MOW Little Devil now. First one I've had.

How did you like it? I enjoy the little devil quite a bit.

[projectsunfire]

I used to be a huge AJ whore...but my taste has changed recently. Still have a stockpile of UHC, HOTD and MOW. I did really like the Diesel uncut. And I still have a half a box of Reconquista's resting for a rainy day.

He's still one of the best blenders around!!!!
Try the New World. And all of the San Lotano line before you give up on him.

Yeah, the Spectre was a bit disappointing!
But I understand about the change of "taste".
I've yet to have the Mayimbe, but looking forward to it. I've heard nothing but good about it.

[thechasm442]

Fantastic idea with an AJ Anyday thread!

Lately I have been really into the Man O' War Puro Authentico corona. I would fire one up right now if time wasn't such a factor.

[tww915]

I have become a huge AJ fan. I normally do not get into following a blender like he is a god, but this guy makes some good stuff.

I've got those sitting in my humidor waiting for the weather to turn...

Not fun when you look at the forecast and see a bunch of single digit and negative #'s.

However it gives me a chance to hit up my B&M to try some new stuff, when I get the time.

The Ruination corona is a very good stick as well

[DogRockets]

You know I liked it more than I thought I would. I'm not a pepper guy when it comes to sticks and I was worried this would be that way. It was smooth, cedar-y, and delicious! It's not one I'd have often, but I would like to get a 5er or so to have around. Well done AJ!

I grabbed a fiver of the Mayimbe on cbid to try out...only have 1 left. Havnt seen them on there since. shame...because I don't know if I would pay full retail for them.

A - I've had the Spectre and its ok. Not a favorite but good; a little disappointed with it. I guess I expected more.
I love the New World!

I've heard that the Mayimbe is supposed to be his best blend yet. I don't recall seeing them on CBid, but then again I haven't looked in a while. Retail is kinda steep!

[Tombstone]

I smoked a Mayimbe when the first came out. It was good it was a real hearty smoke. For lack of better term at the time I told my wife it tasted like beef stew. She did not believe me. I have one that has been sitting around over a year I will have to light it up and review it one of these days.

It is really good. Maybe even better than the Reconquista. They Mayimbe was on cbid for a very short time. I do recall them going for not much less than retail.

[stonecutter2]

MOW Puro Authentico Maduro. I need to get another box of those, actually....running a little low :)

I checked Cbid and they don't have any right now. I'll have to keep an eye out.
Gonna check with a few other spots & see if I. An get a coue or a 5'er in the near future.

Once the weather turns, we will have to get together for a celebratory smoke!

Or hit a B&M before for a share our sorrow smoke!

Funny, I was just searching all over for some info on them. Crazy Katman has a review on them. He wasn't impressed and he's as big an AJ whore as I've seen. The construction on the pictures he took was so sloppy. Looked like I tried to roll the cigar.
That being said, they are on special on cbid now. 10 for $35.

yeah I saw his review. That guy is a trip. After a closer look, the Relic looks like one I will pass on.

i think AJ cigars have such hype that we tend to overhype and ste the bar high and set ourselfs up for failure of not liking something. im sure if someone handed him this cigar unbaded and said smoke it the review would be alot different because he says he enjoys the cigar

maybe. but its also only a $6 msrp cigar. which means its really a $3 cigar. I used to love Diesels. I had a unholy cocktail the other day and I barely wanted to finish it. My taste has changed and is becoming more refined so now I find it harder to please myself haha.

[Demuths1770]

im always down to try something new to atleast give my own opinon. his review really talks bad about the appearance but i smoke for the tase not the appearance. It can look like a backwoods cigar but all i care about is that taste

[droy1958]

Had my first 1844. Thought it a decent smoke.....

I bought a few boxes of those. Its one of my golf sticks. good cheap smoke that I won't care if I forget it on the last hole

Smoked one of these the other night. I've had the CORE, Dos Capas and the Oscuro Fuerte and they're all really good.

[mi000ke]

Just smoked an Armada toro grande that I picked up on cbid for $6.00. Great cigar. I am a huge AF fan and Ruination beli is one of my favorites, but this was even better. Of the hundreds of NCs I've smoked, for me this comes the closest to a CC. It's what I imagine a good full-bodied CC would taste like if that country made a true full-bodied cigar. Wish they made them in the toro or robusto size though, as I'm pretty baked after a hour and half on the grande, but hate to put out a good cigar. I also had a corona a few weeks ago, and it had a similar profile (maybe even closer to a CC), but I like a slightly longer, fatter smoke.

[Tombstone]

Anyone try out any of the newer AJ releases. I have smoked up the Last Call a few times and the "A Gift from AJ" from CI B&M. I also picked up some of the Bella Artes, I think they are called. That I have resting. My taste buds have been a little wonky the last week. Waiting on a clean palate to light them up.

The Reconquista's seduced me too!

I actually just got another box of 3. They are really great after a year or 2 of deep sleep

[Tombstone]

Smoked a Bella Artes for breakfast. Very nice. Reminds me of a Peppin. Nice hit of pepper for the first third then solid spices and nuainces for the rest.

Two years sleep you say? I can't say I have ever kept one around that long. I may have to give it a go.

Have you tried the Argentum?

[projectsunfire]

Two years sleep you say? I can't say I have ever kept one around that long. I may have to give it a go.

Have you tried the Argentum?

I used to be a major AJ whore. So when the Reconquista first came out I wanted to try one so bad. I finally bought a few of them and when I finally smoked one after a few months rest I was sooooooo disappointed. One dimensional flavor, uneven burn. Poor draw. Bordering on un-smokeable. So I stuck the rest of them deep in the humi & kind of forgot I had them. So about 2 years later... on a whim I lit one up and it was fantastic. Close to 2 1/2 hr smoke (which is insanely long for me), never went out, never needed a re-light. Very complex. Absolute flavor bomb.

Maybe that batch was a fluke...I'll let you know in a few years ;)

I haven't had the Argentum. Actually never heard of it. Looks like it's a shorter version of the Reconquista for way less $$$


I gotta say the packaging for them is cool tho
