Where did you see that the trademark was abandoned? These are a brand new line... like they JUST started shipping.

Here.

That Ark of the Covenant 4.5" x 60 sure looks interesting

Btw, these things did pop up on last nights jam. $29.50, but that was for a five pack(7.0x48), which seems a little steep.

 

[Master Shake]

I understand that these cigars are supposed to be like watered down, less tasty versions of things that AJ already does. I will reserve judgement until I try myself of course but I wouldn't want to commit to a 10 pack on the jam or a 6 dollar churchill either, being that it isnt exactly my favorite vitola. Gotta find some singles somewhere for a decent price hopefully.

 

[Cigar Cowboy]

These have shown up twice in today's jam

Where did you read that these are a watered down version of current blends.

If you read the info in the link,CI applied for the trademark in Aug of 2008,and the trademark was judged abandoned by the previous holder in Oct of 2010, giving CI the chance to apply for the trademark.........http://www.trademarkia.com/ave-maria-77540383.html

Perhaps you mean milder :scratchhe? I can't imagine AJ'd intentionally put out a watered down, less tasty version of a cigar. That's a sure fire way to lose street credit in this industry.

Smoked one yesterday, cant really give a fair comparison to anything else but to say that it was pretty decent.
All I kept thinking while I smoked it was hmmmmm not bad.
Burned it down to about an inch and put it down, mostly because my 1st Tatuage The Face was waiting patiently for its turn.
I have to say the Face was the superior of the 2 in every way imaginable.

 

[Cigar Cowboy]

I broke down and ordered a single of the Ark of the Covenant 4.5" x 60.

I will let you all know if it is any good.

It's hard because I gather CI is quite hyperbolic in their advertisements and reviews.

Yes, the reviews they give are quite hyperbolic but at least the cigars they sell are straight.

Received my sampler today with 4 Ave Maria Ark of the Covenant, 4 Diesel Unlimited, 4 San Miguel Torpedo and 4 Man o' War Virtue Torpedo.

Put one of each in the humidor.

Thought about grabbing this package. Let us know how they turn out! :thumbsup:

Totally! I am loving me some A.J. Fernandez blends.

 

[ciggy]

I wonder how much that cigar would cost without the band...

LOL...I wondered the same. I've fallen victom more than once to the "Pretty Band Virus"...Made me sick alright. Sometimes I wonder if cigar manufactures take ones that don't sell well and just change the band and not the cigar. You know that's had to have happen.

haven't tried it, sounds interesting.

 

[smokinbodybuilder]

My dad just ordered a box of these so I'm sure I'll be gifted a few when I see him for Thanksgiving next week.
