San Lotano Requiem Connecticut by AJ Fernandez has been at the very core of AJ’s success, offering cigar lovers a cigar dressed in a Connecticut leaf that is anything but a typical Connecticut-wrapped smoke. Smooth and refined, yet bursting with richness, one need not be a fan of Connecticut tobacco to find something to love about the San Lotano Requiem Connecticut series.
AJF Select tobaccos from AJ’s farms in Nicaragua join Dominican leaves to form a voluptuous core which is held fast by a Honduran binder and a golden Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper leaf. Wood, nuts, white pepper and spice flavors are supported by a creamy texture throughout the medium-bodied experience. The San Lotano name celebrates a brand once owned by AJ’s family in Cuba and also serves as the name of AJ’s estate, as well as the name of his factory in Ocotal, Nicaragua.
