A collaboration between two of the industry's monsters, these cigars combine the incredible legacy of Romeo y Julieta and Altadis USA with the modern blending expertise of master cigar maker AJ Fernandez. The second in a line of "remastered classics," this stick follows Hoyo de Monterrey Crafted by AJ Fernandez and has garnered some serious attention since its release in mid-2016. Handcrafted in Nicaragua at Tabacalera Fernandez, Romeo y Julieta Crafted by AJ Fernandez uses an astounding assortment of filler and binder tobaccos from AJ's personal Nicaraguan farm, all harvested especially for this particular cigar. The finishing touch is a rich, oily Habana 2000 Maduro wrapper leaf which adds an immense amount of depth and character to this incredible cigar. One of the things AJ Fernandez is known for is the quality of his cigars. This cigar follows suit, always offering an easy draw, billowing clouds of smoke, and mind-boggling barrages of luxurious flavor. Beginning with a sweet, spicy opening, this stick starts to pound the palate with rich notes of cocoa and mocha. Earthy tobacco maintains a presence in the background as classic maduro flavors meet edgy Nicaraguan goodness. A sweet raisin finish seals the deal, putting a delightful touch on this profound demonstration of blending mastery. Medium-to-full-bodied, it's an outstanding choice for anyone who has a well-developed palate. Complex, rich, smooth, and immensely satisfying, it pairs wonderfully with scotch, rum, or port wine and makes a great close to any special evening. The 6" x 60 Gordo size is perfect for fans of larger ring gauge cigars, offering cool, flavorful smoke and a lengthy experience. If you have not checked out AJ Fernandez's other blends, it is definitely worth it to pick up a few. In particular, New World and Bellas Artes would be similar in stature to this particular masterpiece. AJ Fernandez has not been in the game as long as most other big names in the business, but he has come up very quickly and already made his mark as one of the industry greats. Romeo y Julieta Crafted by AJ Fernandez Gordo is just one more stick for him to brag about, and rightfully so. It is a true work of art. |
