The "Gordito" from the AJ Fernandez New World Dorado collection is an all-Nicaraguan cigar predominantly sourced from the Dorado estate in Estelí—its golden soil inspiring its name. Featuring a Habano Sun Grown wrapper, Criollo '98 binder, and a body composed of leaves from Estelí and Condega, this generous format delivers an intense aromatic profile: from the first draw, smoky earth, white pepper, and cedar intertwine, followed by hints of cinnamon and a touch of subtle sweetness, culminating in a finish of roasted nuts and toasted bread. The Gordito (5 ½ × 60) offers a sustained smoke without veering into full-bodied excess—an invitation for aficionados of maturity and character. Thanks to its meticulous craftsmanship and precise draw, it is equally suited for a contemplative moment or discerning appreciation.
