Abdel. Fernández’s list of collaborators will add yet another name: Jochy Blanco.

Blanco, of La Galera and Tabacalera Palma, has teamed up with Fernández for San Lotano Dominicano.

The details are sparse, representatives for A.J. Fernández said more details would be available in the coming days, but Elvis Batista of La Galera posted a picture of the new cigar, which features a secondary band that reads “AJ & Jochy.”

San Lotano was Fernández’s first brand for his new company, launched in 2010. The brand includes the Requiem, a three-blend core line, and Oval, which is now an exclusive to Cigars International.
