New World Decenio by AJ Fernandez

Honoring a decade of the New World series, the Decenio by AJ Fernandez delivers a bold and nuanced experience. This full-bodied cigar is masterfully assembled at the renowned San Lotano factory in Nicaragua. Its exterior boasts a rich and oily San Andrés Maduro wrapper, enveloping a Nicaraguan binder with a hearty mix of Nicaraguan and Honduran fillers. As you light up, expect an opening wave of dark chocolate and espresso, soon complemented by hints of leather and black pepper that develop through the first third. As the smoke progresses, subtler notes of cedar and a whisper of dried fruit emerge, providing balance and complexity. To enhance this robust blend, pair the Decenio with a glass of peaty Scotch or a well-aged bourbon, which will accentuate its depth while softening the edges of its strength. Alternatively, a rich espresso or dark chocolate truffles can create a complementary indulgence, rounding out the cigar's intricate profile.
