I’ve had a few of AJ’s sticks over the years. He’s blended for a ton of companies. I’ve had the New World Connecticut and thought it to be a good cigar. Wanted to try this and I’m getting blk pepper, leather and dark cocoa. The box press on this is very nice and the draw is just how I like it. This is a very attractive cigar and that band has that classic look. It really is a great value as this cigar really delivers in the flavor department and at an incredible price point.
