Storage Instructions
For best results store your Aj Fernandez San Lotano Conneticut Toro in a well maintained humidor. Aim for a relative humidity between 65% and 68% RH and a stable temperature between 65ºF and 70ºF (18ºC and 21ºC). Season your humidor before putting cigars inside and use a reliable hygrometer to monitor conditions. Keep cigars away from direct sunlight and sources of heat or cold to avoid rapid swings in humidity and temperature. If you must store a small number outside a humidor use a travel humidor or a sealed plastic bag with a quality humidification pack to maintain proper moisture. When cigars arrive in their original cedar box you can store them boxed or remove them to circulate air evenly in your humidor.
Care Tips
Handle the Aj Fernandez San Lotano Conneticut Toro gently to preserve the delicate Connecticut wrapper. Hold by the foot when possible and avoid pinching the cap. Use a sharp cutter for a clean cut and light evenly. Allow new arrivals to rest and come to equilibrium in your humidor for at least two weeks before smoking for immediate enjoyment. If you prefer a more mellow and integrated profile consider aging them for six months to two years depending on your taste. Rotate boxes occasionally to ensure even humidity exposure and keep bands on while storing to protect the wrapper during handling. Avoid refrigeration or freezing and do not expose cigars to strong odors that can be absorbed by the tobacco.
Reviews and Ratings
Major cigar publications and reviewers tend to view the San Lotano Connecticut line positively for its approachability and consistent construction. While the specific 20 count Toro box may not have a standalone score from every outlet, reviewers at places like Cigar Aficionado and Halfwheel have praised the San Lotano Connecticut series for a creamy Connecticut style wrapper, even burn and a reliable draw. Enthusiast feedback echoes those impressions, with many smokers highlighting its smooth flavor profile and value when purchased in larger boxes.
History and Heritage
The San Lotano line comes from AJ Fernandez, a respected blender whose roots in Cuban tobacco traditions are paired with Nicaraguan growing and rolling expertise. Created to showcase a more classic, Connecticut wrapped expression within his portfolio, this toro format emphasizes craftsmanship and consistency. Made with careful leaf selection and experienced rollers, the San Lotano Connecticut offers a refined, crowd friendly smoke that reflects AJ Fernandez’s blend philosophy of marrying old world influence with modern production standards.
Tasting Notes
The AJ Fernandez San Lotano Connecticut Toro (20) presents as a refined medium-bodied smoke, offering a silky, creamy mouthfeel from the first draw. Expect bright notes of vanilla and sweet hay layered over toasted almond and cedar, with a delicate citrus zest that lifts the mid-palate. A whisper of white pepper and baking spice appears on the retrohale, giving the finish a lively, nuanced complexity. Aromas of honeyed oak and warm pastry round out the experience, delivering a smooth, elegant profile that rewards slow contemplation.
Pairing Suggestions
Single-origin medium-roast espresso, its roasted, slightly caramelized beans cut through the cigar’s creaminess while echoing the toasted almond and cedar notes. Añejo rum (8–12 years), the rum’s aged oak, molasses and vanilla tones mirror the cigar’s sweet oak and vanilla highlights, enhancing the cigar’s natural sweetness. Milk chocolate with toasted almonds, a subtly sweet, creamy chocolate brings forward the cigar’s nutty and vanilla nuances without overpowering its balanced profile.
