The Ave Maria Crusader is a remarkable creation by Ave Maria Cigars, showcasing the artistry of renowned cigar-maker AJ Fernandez. This 5-inch cigar, with a robust ring gauge of 52, features a silky, oily Cuban-seed wrapper from Ecuador, expertly enclosing a blend of premium Nicaraguan and Honduran long-fillers. A harmonious balance of medium to full-bodied strength presents itself through complex tasting notes of chestnut and almond, underpinned by earthy and woody elements, with a subtle hint of spice that lingers on the palate. This exceptional cigar promises a luxurious smoking experience that is both satisfying and memorable for aficionados.
