COVID-19 Day 389: 2.0-Mile Cigar
Well, that quick 2-Mile #CigarWalk around the block is just what the Doctor ordered!

Since I’m down to my last New World Connecticut in Corona Gorda by A.J. Fernandez, I think it’s time to purchase some more… I believe that a Cigar Lover should have at least a handful of these New World Connecticut cigars on hand for when you want something gentle in the morning or for someone new to the Cigar Hobby.

COVID-19 Cigar Walk, Day 108: 2.0-Mile Cigar
What a surprise this A.J. Fernandez New World Connecticut in Corona was this morning… It was “Right-On” and it hit the spot!

I had forgotten how smooth, well-balanced, and flavorful these A.J. Fernandez cigars were. Truth be told, I wasn’t expecting much from this cigar this morning… I was wrong!

I’ll have to check and see… it may be time to purchase more of these.

This was my second time with the New World Connecticut in Corona. I just discovered that I had these in my TupperDor while looking for another A.J. Fernandez cigar.

Once lit, the smoke pours freely with a dry subtle black pepper flavor with a manageable retrohale.

At the second third, cedar flavors enter the picture through a perfect draw with just the correct amount of resistance. All the flavors have bumped up a bit from the first third… this cigar is smoking faster than I’m used to since my return from convalescing a broken foot.

At the last third, I’m not overly impressed, but I have to remember that I don’t think this was intended to be a “Premium” cigar; more like a budget stick, but its still a respectable cigar. This is perfect this morning as the first cigar of the day or if you were limited for time… a good “beginner” cigar.

I have a couple more of these; now that I know they’re in the TupperDor. I might pay more attention next time.
