The San Lotano Connecticut represents AJ Fernandez's refined approach to Connecticut shade cigars, delivering a sophisticated smoking experience that defies conventional expectations of mild cigars. This is described as a Connecticut cigar like no other, with flavors so rich that strength becomes secondary, tasting more like a medium-bodied stick than a mild one. The blend features an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper over Honduran binder and Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers, delivering refined complexity in a mild-to-medium frame. The flavor profile showcases cream, toasted nuts (almond and pistachio), cedar, white and black pepper, citrus zest, mild earth, and coffee-latte sweetness. Drawing from three generations of Cuban tobacco heritage, this cigar embodies AJ Fernandez's mastery in combining traditional craftsmanship with innovative Nicaraguan terroir. The San Lotano Requiem Connecticut is described as the genteel expression of AJ Fernandez's celebrated San Lotano lineage—a delicate salute to shade-grown Connecticut flavor with a core built on depth. The cigars are handcrafted in Nicaragua using carefully selected tobaccos, reflecting AJ's commitment to controlling the entire production process from his extensive tobacco farms across Nicaragua. This San Lotano achieves a quiet balance between charm and substance, described as polished, elegant, and full of layered nuance without overt strength, proving that Connecticut cigars don't need to be dull and serving as an ideal daily companion cigar. The result is a medium-bodied smoke delivering highly satisfying flavors with hints of citrus on a long-lasting finish, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced smokers.
