DORADO

This release in the New World Series provides a journey inspired by one of the world’s greatest tobacco growing regions. The all Nicaraguan blend is mostly from A.J. Fernandez’ Dorado farm, which he aptly named due to its golden texture and taste.

The New World Dorado consists primarily of tobacco from the Fernandez Dorado farm in Esteli. According to AJ Fernandez, the soil on the farm has a golden hue which is unusual as most of the earth in Esteli tends to be an ashen shade of dark grey.
 
This golden appearance of the soil inspired the name as the word dorado means ‘golden’ in Spanish. The Dorado farm is only five years old and the New World Dorado brand uses tobacco from its first harvest in 2017.

New World Dorado's all Nicaraguan blend is made up of a Sun Grown Habano wrapper and Criollo 98 binder which are both from the Dorado farm, and while there's some tobacco in the filler from two other tobacco fields - one in Condega and a different farm in Esteli - the rest of the filler blend incorporates leaf from the Dorado plantation. Made at the AJ Fernadez San Lotano factory, all the cigars are box pressed.

Tasting Notes

93 / 100

"This plantation is only five years old and the tobacco here comes from its maiden harvest, but the results have been impressive. Each puff is rich with layers of caramel, orange peel, nuts and espresso..."
