AJ Fernandez New World Connecticut Corona Gorda is a 5 1/2 x 46 premium cigar handmade in Estelí, Nicaragua. Developed by AJ Fernandez and his father, Ismael Fernandez, this Corona Gorda features a U.S.-grown Connecticut Shade wrapper over a Mexican San Andrés binder and long-filler tobaccos from Brazil and Nicaragua. Introduced in 2015, New World Connecticut is a distinct blend from the original all-Nicaraguan New World Oscuro.
New World Connecticut Corona Gorda offers a mild-to-medium smoking experience with a documented flavor profile featuring cream, wood, almonds, cedar, and subtle spice. Its 46-ring-gauge format presents the Connecticut blend in a slimmer, traditional round cigar rather than the box-pressed construction of the original New World Oscuro.
