A.J. Fernandez New World Connecticut Heads to Retailers
Yesterday, the latest from A.J. Fernandez began heading to retailers nationwide.
Todd Vance, national director of sales, informed halfwheel that the New World Connecticut has begun shipping. The four-size line is a follow-up to the company’s popular New World line that debuted last year. Like the original, New World Connecticut is priced around $6 per cigar.
It’s offered in: Corona Gorda (5 1/2 x 46), Robusto (5 x 50), Toro (6 x 52) and Belicoso (6 x 54) formats. In addition, a 5 1/2 x 54 version was made for an event last year.
New World Connecticut uses a shade-grown wrapper, Mexican San Andrés binder and fillers from Brazil and Nicaragua. The other major difference between New World and New World Connecticut is that the latter is not box-pressed.
