New World Connecticut by A.J. Fernandez

A.J. Fernandez's New World cigars were some of the hottest new smokes to hit the market last year. This year he is releasing New World Connecticut, but besides the name, these have little similarity to its predecessor. Instead of the rigid square press found on the Nicaraguan puro New World cigars, New World Connecticut are a rounded off vitola which features a tasty blend of Nicaraguan and Brazilian filler, a San Andres Mexican binder, all under a beautiful blonde Connecticut shade wrapper. Rated 92 by Cigar Journal. A lot of smokers dismiss the Connecticut shade leaf due to its mild body, but if they are looking past New World Connecticut, they are doing their palate a disservice. The true beauty of this cigar is the fact that the creamy nature of the wrapper leaf plays off the spicier filler tobacco perfectly and gives an amazing complexity to this smoke. While this may feature the traditional mild body one would expect from a Connecticut wrapped stogie, it still remains extremely flavorful. New World Connecticut is a unique cigar made by a master cigar blender known for its powerful and full-bodied Nicaraguan cigars. The creamy nature of this smoke makes it a perfect cigar to start your day with that morning cup of coffee. If you are looking for a different variation on the Connecticut wrapped cigar, we would also recommend the My Father Connecticut, which offers more full body and flavor.
