In addition to El Mayimbe and a Maduro version of Pinelero, A.J. Fernandez is adding an Oval Connecticut. According to Vice-President Clay Roberts, the cigar will come in the same sizes as the regular Oval: Corona, Gordo, Petite Robusto, Pyramid, Robusto and Toro.

The cigar uses an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper. In similar form, the company’s Pinolero line is adding a Maduro version, which uses an “AJF Maduro Nicaragua” wrapper. Both cigars will debut at the 2013 IPCPR trade show and convention tomorrow.
