AJ Fernandez New World Cameroon Doble Robusto is a medium-to-full-bodied 5.5 x 54 box-pressed cigar handmade in Nicaragua at Tabacalera Fernandez in Estelí. It features a hand-selected African Cameroon wrapper over an all-Nicaraguan binder and long fillers grown on AJ Fernandez’s farms in Estelí, Ometepe, Condega, and Jalapa.
The Cameroon wrapper is the star of this blend, adding a distinctive sweet-and-spicy character that sets it apart from the rest of the New World line. Its signature flavors of sweet wood, toasted nuts, and baking spice interplay with the rich Nicaraguan binder and fillers, which provide earthiness, espresso, cocoa, and a firm, peppery backbone. The squat box press firms the draw and creates a smooth, even burn.
Expect notes of cedar, sweet wood, cinnamon, black pepper, leather, toasted nuts, coffee, cocoa, dark earth, and a sweet-spice finish that lingers on the palate. The 5.5 x 54 Doble Robusto format delivers a satisfying 45-to-60-minute smoke with a dense, generous draw and plenty of rich smoke.
AJ Fernandez New World Cameroon Doble Robusto is an excellent choice for smokers who appreciate Cameroon-wrapper cigars, fans of the New World line looking for a sweeter, more aromatic expression, and experienced palates seeking a balanced medium-to-full smoke with real complexity.
Pair it with a wheated bourbon, añejo tequila, barrel-aged rum, a dry cabernet, or a malty brown ale.

Delicious, I got a strong s’more note around halfway through that hung on right down to the nub.

A fantastic med strength cigar.
Delicious from start to finish and just enough complexity to keep your taste buds excited.
The wrapper is fragile so maybe not a winter smoke as it can be a bit brittle.
Definitely a box worthy purchase.
