Bocock Brothers Collaborates with AJ Fernandez for World Traveler Maduro Line

Bocock Brothers Premium Cigars, following their partnership with AJ Fernandez on the Signature Edition release, has exciting news to share. They’ve joined forces with Tabacalera AJ Fernandez to rejuvenate their World Traveler Maduro line, aiming to introduce a fresh and unique blend.

The latest iteration of the World Traveler Maduro showcases a blend that features a Mexican San Andrés wrapper, complemented by an Ecuadorian habano binder, and a blend of Nicaraguan fillers. This combination differs significantly from the original World Traveler Maduro, which was first unveiled in 2019. The initial version of the cigar incorporated a Nicaraguan wrapper, a Honduran-grown Connecticut-seed binder, and Nicaraguan fillers. Production of the original line was handled by the San Judas Tadeo factory in Honduras.

When discussing the transition to a new factory, Bocock Brothers, consisting of brothers Bryant and Doug Bocock, expressed the challenges they anticipated. However, they are confident in their decision and committed to upholding excellence in their products. They also praised Abdel Fernandez as a mentor throughout this process.

The updated World Traveler Maduro is available in three distinct sizes:

  • Robusto (5 x 50)
  • Toro (6 x 52)
  • Gordo (6 x 60)

Pricing for this revamped line falls within the range of $11.50 to $12 per cigar, and each size is presented in 20-count boxes. The new World Traveler Maduro blend is now ready for retailers to order.
