Lee...people just don't buy corona's and lancero's... And while guys like us love them, we also look for the best price/deal. After spending more time in my B&M....the people that keep the place open are the lines of cattle that buy the biggest cigar they can find, and the infused sticks...
Lol yeah I know! I just wish people could be educated and enjoy the wrapper flavores over drowning them down with filler! But you would think the companies could atleast make small batches of the smaller rg's for smokers like us

It's a consumer driven market, they want the most bang for the buck. Which is probably another reason why AJ's sticks are popular, who can turn down 10-$20/$30? Problem is getting stuck with a ton when you realize it is not your profile or your pallete grows. I think alot of them do make small batches, as I've found some cool odd lancero's at my B&M and he gets them only for him and a few select customers. I think the owner just has to know the right people.
I think everyone should get a ribbon and a hug!!!!! Everyone of you are right in your own mind!! Some of you don't like this brand, check, some of you don't like that brand, check! To each is his/her own!! Embrace the ones you like and get rid of the one you don't! I think this is too simple for my complex mind!!! LMAO!
I hate the term "yard gar" and actually i dont even understand it,,,when im out workin in the yard,, i'm bustin my ass and physically Im not able to smoke a cigar, much less enjoy one..(i'd rather inhale oxygen),, Now putterin around in the garage gar,,yea I can see that.. personnally i dont think all his blends taste similar, for example Gurkha park ave vs San Lotano conny vs MOW vrtue, or triple A maduro vs emillio af 1 vs san lotano maduro and none of his cigars taste like an Oval. I enjoy em all!! I have spent more money on other cigars that were not as good as AJF's,, I rarely have had a construction problem with an AJF cigar ,,if ever.. To each their own,,I will always have some AJF cigars in my Humi,, Thank You AJF and ccom

In regard to the pricing, I think it does blind the consumer into buying a ton of his stuff. As a noob, I bought plenty of 10 packs of AJ, only to have 1-2, then gift them or trade them to other people. It's hard to pass up a cool band, a good reputation, and $2/3 a stick. I got rid of all of it, except for the ones I liked. So yeah...I was blinded by the AJ price point myself as a consumer and wish I wasn't. I do regret not buying a box of UHC lol...and then another one....
Acutally I can agree, it really wasn't much of a review, an attack, really? Come on, since you and Ken seem to have read what I wrote, Im just curious as to why both of you ignored the word, opinion. I mean, I wrote it several times, its in there, a lot. And with 6 pages of comments, seems like you two are the only really two that can find fault with an opinion.
Considering you wrote the original post with the title "AJ Blends Just Suck", I would consider this thread to be a simple attack. Not on me, but on AJ Fernandez. Clearly, you wanted to start a firestorm of opinions and you did. And for the record, me calling it an attack is obviously just my opinion.

I was just thinking about this.... Dont we all... or most.... maybe just some of us all have a brand we just cant get into. Perdomo is my "Not a fan of...." If it were worded "Not a fan of AJ Blends" ...would it have gotten to this or is it JUST the wording that is getting the attention?
However, in regard to the title...I'd imagine if someone posted a thread about how VS blends just suck, you wouldn;t get anyone claiming an attack. I think AJ puts out enough for everyone to like one of his blends and that creates a brand loyalty.
