Just lighting up a Grimalkin Robusto while watching the rain and hoping for a bit more breeze if the rain lets up soon.

I will caveat this micro-review by saying that I am a huge fan of AJ Fernandez. By my estimation, the guy can do no wrong. New World, La Herencia Cubana Core, Diesel (especially HotD), Man O' War, Ave Maria, etc., etc., etc... All terrific in my opinion.

Relic Robusto. From the cold draw, I could tell this was going to be a fantastic cigar. And it didn't disappoint. This was the first one of these I've ever had. It's out of a 5-pack and it hasn't even been off the truck for a week.

It's not an overly pretty cigar. Pretty "rustic" looking. But the draw was nearly perfect (just a touch on the loose side) and the burn was excellent. Huge amounts of medium to full bodied smoke.

Earth, coffee, and spice with a slight sweetness. These flavors are used to describe too many cigars but it's the blend and character that defines a cigar. Another home run for AJ in my opinion. Very enjoyable!

This is just based on a single sample though. I'm very interested to see how the remainder of the 5-pack goes with some rest.
