I used to grab a Virtue for breakfast now and again. Nothing else in the line did much for me, either.

I like the Virtue myself.......not a big fan of any of the others in the line, I don't hate them, but I don't go out of my way to find them
I feel as if I just smoked a Gurka....... That lasting nasty ash flavor seems to have hit. Yuck 🤢!!!!

That is pretty bad. Gurkha's are pretty nasty.
Good fresh, but I found over the years to let them rest... let them sit for at least a year or two. Smoked one a short while ago, prolly 3 + years old, and it was a really good cigar...
I don't like the AJF flavor profile/quality. They're a solid cheaper smoke though.
I just bought a bunch of them cause I was out of yard gars (and have been out for a while).
Not bad for purposes such as those.
Dan, I found the Ave Maria Immaculeta (or however you spell it) to be a decent morning smoke, you might like it if you tried it.
So I am going to have to say a mixed review. Flavorful but harsh seems to be the best way to describe it.
Rest them for a couple years and that harshness disappears. I find that to be true with almost all of AJ's blends (not sure if these are still his since he no longer blends for a certain competitor that has similar addresses). I enjoy a lot of his cigars but always tend to rest them for an extended amount of time.
