AJ Fernandez has announced that the company has begun shipping the New World Dorado.

Its name is inspired by Abdel Fernández’s Dorado farm in Estelí, Nicaragua, which is where most of the tobacco comes from according to the company’s website. The Dorado is made entirely of Nicaraguan tobaccos including a habano sun grown wrapper. It is made at the company’s San Lotano factory in Ocotal, Nicaragua.

There are four sizes offered at launch:

  • New World Dorado Robusto (5 1/2 x 52)
  • New World Dorado Toro (6 x 54)
  • New World Dorado Gordito (5 1/2 x 60)
  • New World Dorado Figurado (6 x 56)

Each size comes in boxes of 10 cigars.
