First came the A.J. Fernández New World cigar, a value-priced puro that solidified the AJF brand as a must have in the humidor. With such demand, the cigar was followed by the New World Connecticut, New World Cameroon, and New World Puro Especial. While each of these blends serve a special purpose, it is the New World Puro Especial cigar that is thought to be the most premium. This blend is a collaborative effort between A.J. and his father, Ismael, who crafted the Puro Especial using tobaccos exclusively from his son's farms throughout the Estelí, Nicaragua region. The blend is, therefore, not only a Nicaraguan puro, but an Estelíano puro!
The blend begins with a Nicaraguan Habano wrapper, which is secured over a Nicaraguan Habano binder and all-Nicaraguan fillers. And while Estelí is known for its peppery punch, Ismael has captured this quality without overdoing it, showcasing a medium-full body and hearty flavors of fresh-tilled earth, black pepper, cocoa, and touches of black licorice through the finish.

Good cigar but didn't get as much of the pepper punch as I thought I would. Great flavor though.

Jarrod Raimann - AJ Fernandez New World Puro Especial Robusto
What a great cigar! I’m not usually one for picking out specific notes, but on this one, the cold draw made me think of clean hay (like a 4H fair) and an almost maple sweetness. Burned wonderfully, lovely smoke output. Wish it didn’t have to end!

These are excellent if you like that bold cayenne pepper taste. The ash is pure white and flawless construction every time.

After receiving this cigar in the COTM club I was hooked to AJF. A great slugger in the realm of Nicaraguan puros. Featuring pepper, spice and strong earth as my notes, this cigar can live in my humidor anyday.

This cigar had great construction, medium body and flavor. Pepper and cocoa really came through and made for an all around great experience.
