My phone's have been ringing off the hook since the new AJ Fernandez Dias De Gloria Brazil was announced. Well, good news if you're a fan of AJ: I've just received a reshipment of 180 boxes, and they're ready to ship immediately.
AJ Fernandez released the original Dias de Gloria line five years ago, and it has been a staple in my humidor and humidors around the country ever since. Spanish for glory days, the Dias de Gloria was blended by AJ with his father, Ismael, and the cigars he enjoyed, in mind. Now, the line is getting an update with a new Brazilian look!
The Dias de Gloria Brazil is rolled in AJ’s factory in Esteli, Nicaragua, and features a bold blend of Nicaraguan long-fillers paired with a Nicaraguan binder and draped in a thick and oily Brazilian Mata Fina wrapper. Brazil and Nicaragua are both known for producing some strong and pungent tobacco, and the Dias de Gloria Brazil carries both of those characteristics, bringing out notes of pepper, cedar, savoriness, and subtle sweetness.
