Late last years, only a few months after the debut of the New World, A.J. Fernandez Cigars announced that it would be making a Connecticut version of the cigar, logically named New World Connecticut. The cigar uses a U.S. shade-grown wrapper, Mexican San Andrés binder and fillers from Brazil and Nicaragua. While the cigar debuted in a 5 1/2 x 54 version last year for an event at Cigar Inn, the production vitolas are Corona Gorda (5 1/2 x 46), Robusto (5 x 50), Toro (6 x 52) and Belicoso (6 x 54), all of which are priced around $6. There are a few changes between the New World and New World Connecticut beyond the blend. The New World Connecticut is round, as opposed to the original box-pressed. In addition, the original cigar was made only in 55 and 58 ring gauge vitolas, while there is greater diversity with the newer cigar. Finally, the foot band has changed a bit.
