JJ Fox Custom Blends, Nudies more Polite Cousin?

[Corylax18]

I got an email from JJ Fox today detailing their new Custom blended Nicaraguan Cigars. Considering the close friendship's of Rob, Rob, Andy and the Whole Czar/Fox groups in general, I had a question. Are these coming from the same/a similar team to the Nudies line? The sizes also seem to be very similar. @Ryan, @El Presidente what do you know?

Has anybody sampled these yet?

Tweaked blends for their customer base which is different to ours. Rob and team have been planning  them for a while. 

We have our Lancero and Carlota out for FOH next week (following week latest). Those are blended to my and Hamlet's taste. Anything done under the Nudie platform only needs to satisfy two people....Hammy and myself.   This will be the last Nudie Lancero and Carlota batch for the year.  They will ship from Miami.

Foxy any I work closely together obviously through BR with another major collaboration out later this year.  Hold onto your hats

@Corylax18, I received the same email and had the exact same thoughts/questions.

El Prez, have you tried Fox’s yet? If you have, would you mind giving us a profile comparison?

I sampled some of the Carlotas blind with some cigar people after dinner in Gibraltar last night. They enjoyed them.

I have always enjoyed reading your insights on here over the years @Ryan.  This is well done sir.  Bravo.  👏

@El Presidente am I recalling correctly that you have some different vitolas with a different blend coming out later this year?

Very kind of you! I love cigars and travel and I love meeting cigar people. I'm on a month long working trip around Spain at the moment. Meeting five retailers in the next 24 hours in Seville, Jerez and Cadiz. Wife and kids are at the beach and I'm doing a bit of work on the hotel terrace at la Barrosa right now. One of my favourite beaches in the world. I'll do a few FoH updates when I settle down a bit.
