The New World Oscuro by A.J. Fernandez is a bold and flavorful cigar crafted in the renowned Tabacalera Fernandez factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. This full-bodied cigar is the result of a collaboration between A.J. Fernandez and his father, Ismael Fernandez, blending their expertise to create a cigar that honors the discovery of tobacco in the New World. With its dark and oily Nicaraguan Oscuro wrapper, the New World Oscuro makes a striking first impression, hinting at the rich and intense experience that awaits.
Beneath the Oscuro wrapper lies a Jalapa binder, adding complexity and balance to the cigar. The filler is a blend of Nicaraguan long-fillers from Estelí, Condega, and Ometepe, regions known for producing rich and robust tobacco. This combination results in a layered smoking experience, with notes of earth, leather, and espresso complemented by hints of dark chocolate and spice. The cigar burns evenly with a slow progression, allowing the smoker to fully appreciate the depth of flavors.
Overall, the New World Oscuro is a fantastic choice for seasoned cigar smokers who appreciate bold, full-bodied smokes. Its construction and flavor profile speak to the quality and craftsmanship that A.J. Fernandez is known for, making it a highly recommended cigar for those looking to explore the richer side of Nicaraguan tobacco. This cigar is available at many online retailers, including Famous Smoke and Cigar International, providing enthusiasts with easy access to this exceptional blend.
