San Lotano Maduro delivers a medium to full-bodied smoking experience with tasting notes of coffee bean, espresso, almond, pepper, and cocoa mingling with hints of raisin throughout the finish, while also offering notes of cocoa, espresso and spice that create the base for a complex flavor profile complimented by notes of black pepper and a sweet earthiness. The critics at Cigar Aficionado bestowed an impressive 92-point rating upon San Lotano Maduro following its debut. The San Lotano cigar dates back to pre-Castro Cuba; since its inception by A.J. Fernandez's grandfather, the cigar has experienced its fair share of tribulations with the passage of time, but the San Lotano cigar lives on as homage to his family, with A.J. Fernandez recently bringing back the family recipe in three distinct styles: Maduro, Habano and Connecticut. Talented artisans assemble San Lotano Maduro cigars from a dark and oily San Andrés wrapper leaf over a hearty blend of Nicaraguan and Honduran long-filler tobaccos. The balance is impeccable, with smooth, creamy smoke and slow burn that will captivate with each savory draw, making this unique blend perfect for fans of a medium-bodied maduro. The San Lotano Requiem Maduro sells for between $7 and $10 depending on the size, which is considered a steal compared to the value of this cigar.
