• Brands
  New World

  AJ Fernandez has hit a home run with their 2014 launch of New World, a cigar that is both affordable and flavorful. This medium to full bodied stick's name is inspired by the discovery of tobacco in the New World by Christopher Colombus. This lightly box-pressed Nicaraguan puro is handmade in Esteli with a dark Nicaraguan wrapper, a binder from Jalapa and fillers from Ometep, Condega and Esteli. Fans of maduro cigars will find this an absolute delight.
• Cigar Shape
  Torpedo

  The Torpedo was traditionally a fat cigar with two closed, tapered ends. Today, it is any cigar with a cut foot and straight body which tapers to a closed, pointed head.
• Cigar Section
  Box-Pressed (Square)

  A box pressed cigar is a cigar that has a square shape. Originally, this shape came from the practice of packing round cigars tightly in cardboard boxes which are then compacted using a manual press. The cigars are thus pressed into each other and become a "squarish" or semi-square shape. Today, cigar makers use square shaped molds or a wooden trunk press for their box pressed cigars, achieving a more defined square section.
• Cigar Length
  5"1/2

  This cigar is 5"1/2 inches long, or 139.7 mm.
• Origin
  Nicaragua

  Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.
  Despite many decades of war and revolution in this Central American country, the cigar industry has thrived due to the hard work and tenacity of Cuban exiles to the land such as Plasencia, Padron, Oliva, Ortez, and others. Tobacco has been a force of social stability, and the country is now one of the principal exporters of premium cigars in the world.
