The Red and Blue GMT is a fusion of timepiece elegance and tobacco mastery. Rooted in the Watch Series ethos, it nods to luxury GMT watches—red and blue bezel icons—while harnessing AJ Fernandez’s Nicaraguan prowess. Aged over three years, it’s a matured blend designed for the connoisseur who appreciates depth with precision. Think of it as a vintage-inspired GMT: timeless, balanced, high-performing.
Flavor Journey
-
First third: Creamy nuttiness and cedar announce themselves, layered with soft pepper and light espresso notes.
-
Mid-smoke: The tobacco core deepens into earth and spice, while a cocoa or sweet-toned mid-palate suggests dark chocolate or brown sugar.
-
Final third: The blend grows woody and savory—oak, coffee grind, and leather lead into a long, smooth finish with nuanced warmth.
As with other Watch Series cigars, expect a plush, elegant medium–medium‑full profile.
