AJ Fernandez San Lotano Dominicano

AJ Fernandez is undoubtedly one of the most prolific cigar makers of the modern era. Raised in Cuba, he now operates 10 tobacco farms and 2 cigar factories in Nicaragua. Between these facilities, over 100,000 cigars a day are produced under his watchful eye. His true passion, and why he is able to produce such a wide variety of superior quality premium cigars, is the tobacco that he grows. Without quality materials, your product will never be exceptional. It is this philosophy that drives him to spend equal time between farms and factories. Each tobacco leaf must meet his high standards, and each cigar must be expertly constructed. He takes great pride in his creations and would never attach his name to the end product if it didn’t meet his standards.

The San Lotano Dominicano is a unique mark that is different from every other San Lotano available. It is the only San Lotano mark not made in Nicaragua at one of AJ Fernandez’s factories. This blend is produced in the Dominican Republic by the skilled torcedores at Jochy Blanco’s Tabacalera Palma factory. While Fernandez is known for growing some of the best Nicaraguan tobaccos in the industry, Jochy is his tobacco growing counterpart in the Dominican Republic. The San Lotano Dominicano uses a blend of tobaccos grown by both Fernandez and Blanco. They selected a special Brazilian Cubra wrapper to top the blend. Tasting notes feature flavors of coffee, caramel, and nuts with hints of cocoa, toasty breads, and anise. If this is an indication of what the pair are capable of, we highly suggest they collaborate on more projects.
