New World Dorado is the newest and most coveted blend of this popular line.
With attention to detail, most of the tobacco in the Dorado comes from a single plot of land, namely the Dorado farm in Estelí, Nicaragua. This all Nicaraguan blend consists of of a sun-grown, Cuban-seed wrapper and Criollo ’98 binder with filler from AJ’s other fields.
The result speak for themselves. Cigar Aficionado rates it a very impressive 94. Their description says it all. “Beautifully rolled with an even draw and combustion, this dark, box-pressed cigar envelops the palate with rich layers of caramel, orange peel, toast and nuts. A subtle floral undertone appears before the long espresso finish, which hints of walnut. Complex and delicious.” Not convinced? Katman gave it an astounding 97 and Blind Man’s Puff scored it at 96. What more so you need to know!

When this Habano edition was launched in 2017, it got serious notice as the Gordo size garnered a 91 rating. Venturing out of the mild to mellow flavor zone, this stick wandered into the solid medium body relm. What caught everyone by surprise that it’s Cuban style taste was tempered by the traditional Nat Sherman smoothness. A perfect draw gives way to a huge volume of aromatic smoke.
