The cigar has great smoke output burn and presentation. It has a dark oily wrapper with tooth visible. I’m not one for a big ring gauge since I’m usually pressed for time. I would revisit this smoke again while enjoying an evening with friends, or around the fire. The problem I did experience was a wavy burn starting in the second third. It did offer enjoyable notes and a great draw.
The W.A. French Bulletin is the final release in a ten-part series inspired by Wes Anderson films. This installment pays tribute to The French Dispatch, with a blend from AJ Fernandez that has been aging for over two years. This 6×56 cigar features a Mexican San Andres wrapper from the renowned Turrent family and Nicaraguan fillers cultivated by AJ Fernandez in Estelí and Condega. The result is a rich, layered smoke that evolves with every draw—delivering deep, nuanced flavors balanced by AJ’s signature craftsmanship. As the final chapter of the W.A. series, French Bulletin is the most complex and satisfying blend yet. It’s bold, warming, and perfectly suited for the season.
