COVID-19 Cigar Walk, Day 664: 3.6-Mile Cigar
 A.J. Fernandez, AJ Fernandez, New World, New World Puro Especial, Nicaraguan Criollo ’98, Short Churchill, Toro A Freezzzzzing (17°F, -8.3°C), but outstanding Cigar-Walk with this New World Puro Especial in Short Churchill (Toro) by A.J. Fernandez. This cigar held up and performed like a champ in these freezing weather conditions.

It had been so long since I smoked this last (May 2021) that I forgot how delicious this cigar is… Was!

I’m going to have to do a better job at keeping this New World Puro Especial in the Cigar Rotation from now on!

 A.J. Fernandez, AJ Fernandez, New World, New World Puro Especial, Nicaraguan Criollo ’98, Short Churchill, Toro A Razor-Sharp burn all the way down to the NuB with this Nicaraguan Criollo ’98 wrapped New World Puro Especial Short Churchill (Toro) by A.J. Fernandez on this morning’s Cigar Walk.

Full rich tobacco flavors are what I expect from this delicious cigar!

This cigar was a reminder this morning to venture into the rest of the New World line of cigars… I don’t think that there is an A.J. Fernandez cigar I didn’t like!

COVID-19 Cigar Walk, Day 245: 3.6-Mile Cigar
I’m sold on this New World Puro Especial in Short Churchill (6.0″ x 48, Toro) by A.J. Fernandez, but I was already a fan of this blend… but I’m relatively new to this particular Vitola… and I’m loving it!

This is another perfect Cigar Walking Stick full of flavor and stellar performance. And, I was almost able to get a four-mile walk in with this today. I can’t wait to smoke this cigar again…Sakamoto Happy!

COVID-19 Cigar Walk, Day 175: 2.0-Mile Cigar
 A.J. Fernandez, AJ Fernandez, New World, New World Puro Especial, Nicaraguan Criollo ’98, Short Churchill, Toro Oh Me, Oh My… Today was my first time with this Vitola… The perfect 2.0-Mile companion for this morning’s Cigar Walk with the New World Puro Especial Short Churchill (Toro) by A.J. Fernandez.

I need to smoke more of these very “Affordable” cigars… how can these be a bad thing?… they were created by none other than A.J. Fernandez himself!

I think I need to work on acquiring all three available Vitolas besides this Short Churchill (Robusto and Toro).

More to come for sure about this New World Puro Especial… Stay Tuned
