Best Blender?
This is not intended to be a poll or even come to a definitive answer. This is intended purely for discussion and to bring to the fore some names that we as consumers might not otherwise think of.
For Example: Steve Saka Michael Gianini AJ Fernandez Nick Mellilo Robert Holt Willy Herrera Jose Blanco to name a few, and to get this discussion started. Like I said, the goal of this thread is not to crown "king Blender" rather to recognize some of the fine cigars we enjoy. Feel free to discuss among yourselves and NO CROWBARS!

My favorite smokes invariably come from AJ Fernandez in recent years.
 For a long time I was a Villazon junkie. That began to wane with the sale to General and the closing of the Cofradia factory. Something changed. Thankfully, AJ filled the void.

The late Estello Padron comes to mind. An absolute genius with blends that had maduo or oscuro wrappers.

Jose Blanco. Listening to him describe how he goes about blending is amazing.

Good times for exciting cigars at very reasonable prices.
