Size-Corona 5x42
Wrapper- Esteli grown Habano ligero
Filler- Cuban seed Nicaraguan long-leaf ligeros
Strength- Full Body (no really, full body)
Duration- 1:05
Cutter- Xicar
Score- 90


Ordered a box of this AJ Fernandez offering a month ago and decided to fire one up. Flawless construction, slightly shaggy foot, small pigtail cap. First puffs are in your face spice and pepper and it's pretty much unrelenting the entire way through. Burn and draw are perfect, with copious amounts of smoke. Nice transitions midway through reveal some oak or cedar. The strength of this powerhouse is strong, but never over powering. Amazing little stick, that is sure to please the a$$ kicker lovers! Would I buy or smoke these again? Most definitely, but on a full stomach and a cold beverage close by.

I would say the MOW is way stronger than the Tat black, and not nearly as complex. Both very solid smokes however!

This to me is the most refined MoW I've had maybe not as complex as a Tat BL CG.
And the Tat Black Cgs are a few years older. I would hope they are less stronger and more complex as with age comes both.......

these are one of my favs, I got a box about a month ago....they are fantastic little smokes - and like the reviewer said - eat something. a full-bodied little power house.

Great review, I highly recommend these as well. Not something I would have expected from AJ. These seem in my opinion much more DPG than AJ. He really hit a homerun with the puro authentico.
