John, Have you had these before? I’ve got a few in storage waiting their turn to burn 🔥 I hope the hype doesn’t prove to be disappointing. I don’t have the Brûlée blue or Wagashi but they get a lot of hype as well. The price point on these is at the outer range for me but now that I’ve smoke through the cheap trash in fivers, the boutiques I’m beginning to buy are hitting my bank account harder.

How did you like it?

It was my first one. I liked it, but not for $12+ each. I got this in a Dunbarton blind buy so I guess I didn't have to pay alot, so to speak. It was a little light for my taste, but there was a some pepper and cream and picked up a sweetness as well. But honestly most of the flavors came on retro only. Burn was a bit wonky and needed a correction. Would I say no to another? Nope, but only if someone gave me one, or got it in another blind buy.

I like this cigar but it is a bit monotonous on the flavors. Light broadleaf flavors from beginning to end, touch of white pepper.

83,005: AJF AJ Fernandez Rosa de Guadalupe Robusto

I’ve had this stored at proper RH for at least six weeks. The foot was throwing off a lot of smoke with that slight yellow dinge and somewhat sour odor. In the final third the burn line went totally out of control and instead of ash there was hard charcoal and it was burning very hot. There was a tarry flavor from the moisture at the cap end and it burned my lips. As far as I know these are symptoms of excessive RH. I think this one needs even longer resting time. Not a very good cigar but I don’t blame the manufacturer.

jeebling thats not a good AJF Rosa - personally I think they are just a fairly good yard gar. If I find one in my stash that is 2 or more years aged I'll try it and see if they got any better.

^ You may be being too kind to the cigar. If it's sitting at upper 50s rh for 6 weeks, it's not over-humidified. I keep my stuff b/w 65%-68%, and they're not too moist (for me).

This cigar, the Herencia, they could just be very freshly rolled mass-produced cigars that need to sit for year. If they're still problematic, it's the cigar.

Very strong woodsy taste likely from the barrel aging they do to the tobacco. Very smooth, unique flavor that changed a bit in the final 3rd as the wrapper changed to maduro.
