(Miami,
Florida) April 22, 2015— A.J. Fernandez Cigars, known for producing
consistently highly rated cigars is set to release the exceedingly anticipated
New World Connecticut. The unique blend was created after the
overwhelmingly positive response from the public and critics alike, when New
World was unveiled at the 2014 IPCPR. The New World went on to attain the honor
of Number 1 Cigar in the World 2014 by Cigar Journal
Magazine.
Master
blender A.J. Fernandez created the New World brand to pay homage to the
discovery of the “mystical smoking leaf” named tobacco by the Europeans, when
their ships landed in what is now known as the New World. In
November 1492, Jerez and Luis
de Torres first
observed natives smoking as they were searching for the Emperor
of China.
Unaware that they had landed in modern-day Cuba,
they encountered natives that created rolls made of palm and maize leaves, in
the shape of a musket constructed of paper with tobacco on the inside. One would
light one end and enjoy the smoke out of the other.
A.J.
Fernandez said: “The
New World cigar was a very special project as it was the first cigar that was
created with the help of my father Ismael Fernandez since he joined me at
A.J. Fernandez Cigars. I am more than thrilled that the public reception has
been so positive, that it has once again allowed us, as father and son to create
the New World Connecticut.”
