A.J. Fernandez's Dorado line in its best-known size. The New World Dorado Box-Pressed Robusto by AJ Fernandez (5 1/2 x 52) was Cigar Aficionado's No. 14 Cigar of 2022, rated 93.
It is a Nicaraguan puro, Nicaraguan wrapper over Nicaraguan binder and filler, box-pressed and made in Nicaragua. Sweet cedar and almond lead, with earth and spice underneath, at a medium body that stays easy from start to finish. About 65 minutes, a Power Hour smoke on the Burn Clock.
A good cigar for a night on the patio. Bourbon or a tawny port suits it, and so does an espresso. Boxes of 10. Explore more robusto cigars.
