New World Connecticut by AJ Fernandez

A.J. Fernandez has a reputation for creating high-quality cigars, and the New World Connecticut Toro 6 x 52 is a prime example of that legacy. Named after Columbus’s arrival in the Caribbean, the New World Connecticut theme is immersive, carrying through the band and box design, including a lovely pearl ribbon at the foot. The blonde Connecticut Shade wrapper pulls you in with its inviting aroma. Inside, a Mexican San Andrés binder holds a well-aged blend of Nicaraguan and Brazilian fillers. Staying mellow-to-medium in strength, expect balanced notes of cedar, coffee, and spice. Unlike the rest of the New World lineup, which comes box-pressed, the Connecticut Toro is rolled round. Handcrafted at Fernandez’s factory in Estelí, these gems arrive in boxes of 20. Try one at our lounges or order online at Casa de Montecristo.
