The New World Connecticut delivers a mild to medium-bodied smoking experience that builds in strength and complexity throughout the smoke. Featuring subtle notes of cream, slight spice, and cedar that grow in intensity, along with rich flavors of coffee with a creamy finish. Tasting notes include Fuji apples, cinnamon-coated pie crust, creamy custard, citrus, and caramel flavors that develop from light and sweet to darker and more complex. Created as a line extension following the overwhelming success of AJ Fernandez's original New World blend, this Connecticut version represents a collaboration between the same father/son duo with a focus on delivering a refined blend of more mellow character. The cigar features vintage long-fillers from Brazil and Nicaragua, encased in a rugged San Andres binder, with a true U.S. grown Connecticut-shade wrapper leaf. AJ Fernandez has established himself as an all-around originator with capabilities from seedlings to vintage cigars in aging rooms that are second to none. This cigar is flavorful enough to satisfy seasoned leaf enthusiasts, but mild enough to recommend to newer cigar smokers as well, topped off with a price that is bordering on ridiculously low. Unlike the original New World which is box-pressed, the Connecticut version uses rounded vitolas and is not box-pressed. Perfect for the newbie or novice cigar enthusiast, while experienced cigar enthusiasts wanting a milder or morning smoke will appreciate what this brings to the table.
