"Rock solid smoke, if this cigar was a baseball player it would be Cal Ripken, something you could totally bank on in a pinch. It didn't change a ton through the cigar but it was strong and not overwhelming at all which is not an easy thing to say about a stick of this caliber." -Jack (Jack_H)
Casa Fernandez was showing off three new releases, the Lunatic Jackhammer, Aniversario Serie 2015 and the Futuro.
Last years collaboration between Cigar Dojo and Aganorsa Leaf, Bonsai, has a pre-release during the Rocky Mountain Cigar Festival festivities. It launched nationwide shortly after through online retailer Payless Cigars & Pipes, which is run by Smoker Friendly, the same company that runs the festival. This was one of Cigar Dojo's most successful and fastest-selling collaborations to date. Now, Bonsai is returning to Smoker Friendly, and their online store paylesscigarsandpipes.com as a limited, but ongoing release.
Aganorsa Leaf Habano, formerly known as the Aganorsa Leaf Tabsa Habano, is now shipping with updated packaging and bands. The redesign reflects updated designs for the Corojo, Maduro, and Connecticut lines of the Aganorsa Leaf series which were repackaged last year.
Aganorsa Leaf is bringing a new line to TPE 2020, Supreme Leaf. The blend features tobacco grown 100% from Aganorsa farms and packaging has a look that is unique to the company.
Today, Aganorsa Leaf has announced an exclusive cigar with their retail partner Stateline Cigar Lounge in Newark, Delaware. The new cigar is simply called "Stateline." The blend uses entirely Aganorsa tobacco including a corojo 99 wrapper from Jalapa, and binder and filler tobaccos from their farms in Esteli, Jalapa, and Condega. Stateline comes in one size, a 6 x 50 toro.
Aganorsa Leaf, today, announced an extension to their Guardian of the Farm line, Guardian of the Farm Nightwatch. This version was blended by Max Fernandez and Kyle Gellis of Warped Cigars be a more intense smoke. The blend uses Aganorsa’s proprietary Shade Grown Corojo Maduro wrapper.

·"The cigar did have some nice flavors, but didn't have a lot of pop to it. It was gentle enough on the palate to make for a pleasant mid-morning smoke." -Ron (shuckins)
Aganorsa Leaf is adding a line to its JFR Lunatic series: JFR Lunatic Loco. JFR stands for Just for Retailers and has been around since 2011. The Lunatic line was added in 2015.

·Each of our panelists were given 10 votes to towards our Top 25 Cigars of the Year - 2018. As with previous years, the order of their votes mattered as their #1 vote is worth twice as much as their #10. Our list is made up of cigars that had a wide release this year. The cigars that are eligible do not have to have been reviewed on Blind Man's Puff, but the reviewer must have smoke it at some point to vote for it.
