brand. D&R e-liquid strengths include

Wingate Menthol (0mg). The Wingate
Menthol e-liquid can be mixed with any

thol blend. Dr. Shisha e-liquids are all
nicotine-free and available in 14 popu-
lar flavors: grape, cherry, strawberry,
banana, raspberry, orange, blueberry,
peach, watermelon, mango, vanilla,
clove, chocolate, and coffee. Dr. Shisha
and D&R e-liquids can be combined
together in the vaporizer to create per-
sonal e-liquid fusion blends, with or
without nicotine. All 19 D&R and Dr.
Shisha e-liquids are manufactured in
the U.S. and are available in 10ml bot-
tles, with 12 bottles in a box.
“We worked very hard to create our
e-liquids with exceptional flavor, ap-
pearance, and value price,” says Mark
Ryan of D&R. “Our combination of
brand recognition and range of flavors
and nicotine will appeal to every con-
sumer and enhance the profitability for
every retailer.”

A.J. Fernandez’s
Brand New World
A.J. Fernandez Cigars recently un-
veiled New World, a value brand puro
created by A.J. Fernandez and his fa-
ther, Ismael Fernandez, who recently
joined the company after retiring from
17 years with the Plasencia family.
The cigar’s name pays homage to the
discovery of the “mystical smoking
leaf” by Europeans when their ships
landed in what was then called the
“New World,” explains A.J. Fernandez.
“The team at A.J. Fernandez Cigars is
grateful for the amazing support we
have received from the consumer[s]
and therefore will offer the New World
Cigar at a value price as we invite ev-
eryone to join us on our New World
journey.“
The New World blend is an elegant
box-press cigar adorned with a cigar
band that depicts the Europeans landing
on the shores of the NewWorld. As with
every A.J. Fernandez cigar brand, New
World is a carefully handcrafted cigar
blended under strict supervision of the
company in its Estelí, Nicaragua factory.
A medium- to full-bodied cigar, the
New World is composed of a Jalapa
Valley binder and a filler blend of Viso
Ometepe, Condega Ligero and Esteli-
Finca Soledad Ligero. At a suggested
retail price of $6, New World Cigars
are packaged in a 21-count box and
come in four sizes: Navegante (5.5x5
Robusto), Almirante (5.5x55 Belicoso),
Gobernador (6.5x55 Toro) and Virrey
(6x58 Gordo). A.J. Fernandez, ajfer-
