So what if it is an attack? The guy is a business man and someone feels his product sucks. No dffierent than someone saying WalMart sucks. He isnt judging the man, he;s judging what he feels to be an inferior product as a whole and not mincing and words or making it cute for anyone's ears. Too much political correctness and creative wordsmithing can hurt a point sometimes.
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.

Heres the thing, when it comes to AJ, I don't think it really matters what I wrote as a heading or in a review or opinion when it comes to these forums. Im not bashing anyone for liking AJ stuff, Dustin has stated over and over that he hates AF. I happen to love AF but I respecet how he feels about AF. It seems like there is no respect from people who like AJ stuff for people that go against the grain and state it's just not for them.

Good point Tony
,,I agree with Steve,,whos Tony??
Thanks for that. Wouldn't want anyone to forget my name. Lol.
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?
Honestly, I could have worded it "AJ blends do not tickle my fancy" and everything would have been the exact same. Some people hate meat, others love it, but when one side says it out loud, watch out.

Exactly!!!
Smokingdaddy's threads just suck!!!
Couldn't agree more, smartest thing anyone has posted on the topic yet!

Again....think about how much he puts out, enough that someone will swear by him if they like a couple of his blends, even though the majority blow. It's the point I was kind of alluding to in another thread, he has priced and blended himself out of the higher market in doing so to make a name.
I would find it hard to put a "sucks" or "doesn't suck" label on an entire blender. Personally I don't have any particular brand or blender loyalty at all. I have a number of individual cigars that I may love or hate or that fall somewhere in between. With that my tastes have changed over time and I think part of the fun of the hobby is trying new things and revisiting cigars that I may not have liked at one time, months or years later to see if I have the same experience. For the last year or so one of my go to favorites is the MOW PA. I smoke 2-4 every week just because I like them and it has nothing to do with the price or who rolled it.... Just my 2 cents!
To think of it, I've only had the Ruination, SL Oval, and Armada. I didn't like the Ruination, but did like the Oval and Armada. My sampling is just way to small to like or hate AJ. I haven't had an LFD and I've only had OpusX(which are straight up my fav) and some hemingways. Yea I'm definitely in my collector phase right now.

I knew I should have just ignored this post from the start. You wrote a controversial post. It created controversy. Somehow, we all act surprised.
LOL, it created a discussion and thats all. I understand I may not be the most popular guy for a while, but at the end of the day, you liking AJ cigars is no different then me not liking them.

I never said I like AJ's cigars. Stop putting words in my mouth now! Lol. I actually do find them a little overrated, but I do enjoy a couple of them from time to time. I'm actually much like you. I only get to smoke a couple times a week. So when I do, I don't tend to smoke the everyday-type/yardgar. How about we let this one go and you just send your address to me. I promise I won't send very many AJ sticks.
Beat.....you might be getting a little bent out of shape over a guys opinion man, and someone loves a hobby may be different to another-----just sayin
Jiunn's hobby involves pooping
not to be TMI but I called sick into work today b/c I am incredibly constipated... started yesterday afternoon and I would say after that avo I just had, I feel a bit better
