The AJ Fernandez New World Dorado in the Gordito format is the most resounding and powerful expression of this acclaimed line. This cigar captures the essence of «El Niño’s» tobacco legacy in a short, thick format that promises an intense and quickly satisfying experience.

Its Gordito vitola (an extra robusto or «short robusto») concentrates the complex AJ Fernández blend to the maximum. The Ecuadorian Habano Dorado wrapper, which gives the line its name, envelops a careful blend of fillers and binder from the best Nicaraguan fields, including tobaccos from Fernández’s personal farms in Estelí. This combination, pressed in a compact format, releases an explosion of deep and rich flavors from the first puff. Dominant notes of dark espresso coffee and bitter cocoa intertwine with a distinctive hint of toasted caramel and sweet spices, over an earthy and cedar background. Despite its noticeable medium-high strength, the burn is surprisingly smooth and creamy, characteristic of Fernández’s manufacturing mastery.
