AJ Fernandez New World Connecticut (Robusto) - added to humidor ABR 16 (FYARW)

[Arctic Dude]

Didn’t have too much time today to enjoy a more complex cigar while my daughters were out enjoying the sunshine and picking up a few groceries. This offering from AJF was easy to access; in a tupperdor, so I didn’t have to go playing Tetris to dig something out of my various coolers. Purchased in early 2016, this was a pleasant enough smoke; delivering a woody (cedar) creaminess with a little spice and subtle leather. No real transitions to speak of, but the construction was spot-on. 

There is something very satisfying about smoking a cigar that requires no work. Although it’s ultimately all about the flavours being delivered, a cigar that requires no touch ups and maintains a solid ash - that falls off in nicely formed chunks - can make the overall experience just a little more enjoyable.
