AJ Fernandez has delivered few good quality cigars recently and for me, personally, Ave Maria Lionheart (Box-press) has become my favorite AJ cigar. As stated in my ‘About‘ section, cigarphoto.net will concentrate on the visual and high level experience and attempt to link to other blogs for in-depth review. I’m going to agree with my fellow cigar ‘colleague’ (*beaverc32) who posted the following review on stogiereview.com and positively echo the construction & flavor departments of Ave Maria. If you pay attention to those two during smoking experience, you will definitely enjoy Ave Maria. Although slightly ‘flashy’, from photographer’s perspective, Ave Maria’s band is probably in my top 3. A pleasure to photograph ! I have a soft spot when it comes to history so in addition to band itself, I can truly appreciate the reference to Richard The Lionheart.

Close up with boosted exposure and increased saturation really works in this photograph.
