The Montecristo Crafted by A.J. Fernandez cigar is a collaboration between the famous Altadis' Grupo de Maestros and AJ Fernandez—one of the most talented cigarmakers in the biz. Gordo, a hefty 6 x 58-ring stick, features a Mexican San Andrés binder, and aged long filler tobaccos from Nicaragua, and Honduras, surrounded by a black and oily Ecuadorian Sumatra Oscuro wrapper. Full bodied, this flawlessly crafted gem is brimming with lip-smacking notes of licorice earth, espresso, leather, and spice, punctuated by a lovely sweet, aroma.
