AJ Fernandez Last Call Geniales Maduro

The maduro wrapper gives it a rich, earthy kick without being too heavy, and the 48 ring gauge feels just right in hand. Lit up smooth and stayed even all the way through, making for a solid 30-minute smoke. Exactly what I needed after a long day.

The 4 1/2-inch length is perfect for when I only have 30 minutes to spare, and the maduro wrapper burns slow and even to the nub. Medium strength means I can smoke one after lunch without feeling wiped out. Definitely stocking up.

That little 4 1/2 x 48 vitola burns slow and cool for its size, giving me a solid 35-minute smoke. The Nicaraguan blend has just enough kick to be interesting without knocking me down.
