New World by A.J. Fernandez commemorates 2 very special things: Columbus' discovery of tobacco in 1492, and A.J.'s work on this blend with his father Ismael. They've created a medium-full, all-Nicaraguan cigar that's rich with smooth creamy sweet pepper, if a profile like that were even possible; but considering it's the Fernandez boys, we say yes it is. This brilliant, everyday box press smoke will not disappoint. Buy your box & step up to fuller body cigars with New World by A.J. Fernandez!

Initial Thoughts:
I love getting cigar recommendations from the CigarScore community, and today’s cigar was recommended by YouTube user “Steve’s Lip-Smackin’ BBQ” on this video. Today, at Steve’s request, I’m smoking the New World by AJ Fernandez.
Before lighting it, I noticed that this cigar has an interesting aroma. It almost smells like there’s a hint of rose in the dark, coarse wrapper. However, immediately upon lighting the cigar, it was very smooth and sweet.

Final Thoughts:
If you like peppery cigars or cigars with lots of spice, you’ll enjoy the New World by AJ Fernandez. If you don’t like cigars with heavy notes of pepper, you’ll, at least, like the first half.
This cigar is well made, it has complex flavors, and it comes in at a fair price. The draw remained practically perfect the entire smoke, even though we got a torrential downpour during the second half of the cigar. However, there was a burn issue that required some retouching.
Because I’d smoke this again when next in the mood for a moderately peppery cigar, the New World by AJ Fernandez earns a CigarScore 4.
