AJ Fernandez Teases New World Dorado halfwheel.com - get the latest breaking news, showbiz & celebrity photos, sport news & rumours, viral videos and top stories from halfwheel.com Daily Mail and Mail on Sunday newspapers.
New World Double Corona (7 1/2 x 55)
The new vitola is priced at $8.50 per cigar and packaged in 21-count boxes. Its addition builds on a year in which the company released the Tins vitola in April 2020 and made the Redondo vitola a regular production size in November. It had previously been offered only to members of the Tobacconists’ Association of America, and is the only round vitola among the full size options.
When it debuted, the New World by AJ Fernandez line was a notable addition for the company. Its blend was developed by Abdel Fernandez and his father, Isamel, who had just joined his son’s company after working with the Plasencia family for 17 years. The blend, a Nicaraguan puro with a dark oscuro wrapper, Jalapa-grown binder and fillers from Ometepe, Condega and Estelí, was designed to deliver the flavor of a cigar with a $10 price tag but would sell for approximately half that price.

If you have two hours to put aside for a smoke, then A.J. Fernandez has just the cigar. He’s added a large size to his New World line and it started reaching retailers last week the Double Corona.
Measuring 7 1/2 inches by 55 ring gauge, the box-pressed behemoth retails for $8.50 and comes packaged in 21-count boxes. It’s the seventh size in the core New World line (also known as New World Oscuro), following the Redondo and the tin of petit coronas, both of which were put into regular production last year.
Rolled at the A.J. Fernandez factory in Nicaragua, the cigars are made with only Nicaraguan tobacco and consist of a dark, oscuro wrapper grown in Estelí, a binder from Jalapa and filler from Ometepe, Condega and Estelí.
