The newest and thinnest size of the New World Dorado is starting to arrive on shelves.

Last week, AJ Fernandez began shipping the New World Dorado Corona, a 5 5/8 x 46 corona gorda. It’s the fifth size for the Dorado line, which debuted last year. Blend-wise, it is made entirely of Nicaraguan tobacco, most of which comes from AJ Fernandez’s Dorado farm in Estelí, and is capped off with a habano sun grown wrapper. Dorado is made at AJ Fernandez’s San Lotano Factory in Ocotal, Nicaragua.

Each cigar has an MSRP of $10 and it is offered in boxes of 10 cigars. This is a regular production offering.

While the 10-count boxes of the New World Dorado Corona began shipping last week, the cigar has actually been on sale since July. All five vitolas of the New World Dorado line are offered in The Gold Standard Sampler, a new sampler that began shipping last month.

Each sampler has an MSRP of $50 and includes one of each of the vitolas.
