The collaboration between Abdel Fernández and Jochy Blanco is now heading to stores.
This week, A.J. Fernandez began shipping the San Lotano Dominicano, a new four-size line that uses the A.J. Fernandez frontmark but is made at Blanco’s Tabacalera Palma factory in the Dominican Republic. It uses a Cuban-seed Brazilian wrapper over a Dominican binder and fillers from the Dominican Republic and Fernández’s farms in Nicaragua.
- San Lotano Dominicano Robusto (5 x 50) — $8.50 (Boxes of 20, $170)
- San Lotano Dominicano Toro (6 x 50) — $9 (Boxes of 20, $180)
- San Lotano Dominicano Torpedo Box-Press (6 1/2 x 52) — $9.50 (Boxes of 20, $190)
- San Lotano Dominicano Gordo (6 1/4 x 60) — $10 (Boxes of 20, $200)
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.
