AJ Fernandez is undoubtedly one of the most prolific cigar makers of the modern era. Raised in Cuba, he now operates 10 tobacco farms and 2 cigar factories in Nicaragua. Between these facilities, over 100,000 cigars a day are produced under his watchful eye. His true passion, and why he is able to produce such a wide variety of superior quality premium cigars, is the tobacco that he grows. Without quality materials, your product will never be exceptional. It is this philosophy that drives him to spend equal time between farms and factories. Each tobacco leaf must meet his high standards and each cigar must be expertly constructed. He takes great pride in his creations and would never attach his name to the end product if it didn’t.
The AJ Fernandez New World is a brand that was created to commemorate the discovery and introduction of tobacco grown in the New World (the Americas) to the old. Since 1492, these tobaccos have been the benchmark the world over. The New World Dorado is the latest release in the and arguably the best to date. Dorado means gold in Spanish and it’s a reference to the golden hue of the soil where most of the tobaccos from this blend are grown in Estelí, Nicaragua. The blend uses AJ-grown Nicaraguan filler tobaccos, along with a Nicaraguan Criollo binder, and a Nicaraguan Habano Sun Grown wrapper. These box-pressed cigars feature tasting notes of earth, cedar, caramel, and coffee along with hints of pepper, cream, leather, and vanilla. It’s truly one of the most exciting releases from AJ Fernandez in recent years!
