The San Lotano Requiem Habano represents AJ Fernandez's tribute to his grandfather's original Cuban brand, specially blended for the full-bodied cigar enthusiast. This exceptional cigar features a rare Brazilian Habano wrapper grown from Cuban seed ligero, available to only two manufacturers worldwide, wrapped around a carefully balanced blend of premium Nicaraguan, Honduran, and Dominican Republic long-filler tobaccos. The result is a full-bodied smoke that delivers rich flavors of wood, nuts, and spices with notes of cocoa, leather, cedar, and earth, culminating in a long and memorable finish.
Crafted in AJ Fernandez's factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, this cigar honors three generations of Cuban tobacco heritage while showcasing the master blender's expertise in combining traditional Cuban craftsmanship with Nicaraguan innovation. The San Lotano name itself pays homage to the Nicaraguan plantation owned by AJ Fernandez and recalls his grandfather's original brand from San Luis, Cuba. Each cigar demonstrates the vertical integration that defines the AJ Fernandez operation, from seed to finished product.
The San Lotano Requiem Habano has earned recognition from industry critics, including a 91-point rating from Cigar Aficionado. This cigar offers perfect construction with an even burn and excellent draw, making it an ideal choice for experienced smokers who appreciate bold, complex flavors balanced with smoothness. The smoking experience pairs excellently with coffee, whiskey, full-bodied wines, and dark chocolate.
