New World Puro Especial Toro

While there are many versions of AJ Fernandez’s New World cigars, the Puro Especial is the only New World cigar to feature tobaccos from only one country. But to make this cigar unique, the blend features tobaccos from several regions of Nicaragua where Fernandez grows tobaccos. As with most cigars under AJ’s umbrella, the tobaccos used for this blend have all been aged for 3-5 years and are of superior quality. It’s one of the hallmarks of his brands. New World Puro Especial features tasting notes of earth, pepper, and browned butter along with hints of natural tobacco, espresso, and dried berries. Yet again AJ Fernandez delivers a spectacular expression of his New World brand that is distinctive and enjoyable.

There are few people in the cigar industry who have achieved the level of recognition AJ Fernandez has in such short a time. Like many in the business, he was raised in Cuba where he was a student of tobacco growing and cigar making, but when AJ opened shop in Nicaragua, he quickly gained a reputation for being one of the nation’s best cigar makers. From the beginning, he understood that to produce outstanding cigars day after day, year after year, you have to grow your own tobacco and control the process. He operates 10 farms and 2 factories where his brands are precisely crafted under his watchful eye. The New World is a brand that was created to commemorate the discovery and introduction of tobacco grown in the New World (the Americas) to the old. Since 1492, these tobaccos have been the benchmark the world over.
