Thanks for the review man.

Great review. I have found this cigar to be the best Ribeye steak pairing cigaar in the world. Light this up same time or after a ribeye and the smoke just clings perfectly to the fat cells and the flavor of the tobacco seems to almost seamlessly compliment the meat.. It is an odd observation, but since i stumbled on it, I am hooked. I cant eat steak anymore without one of these sticks nearby.

I've been considering what will be my celebratory meal/smoke/drink combination when I get out of the army here pretty soon and I think this sounds just about perfect! I'm thinking a nice glass of rum might fit in there pretty well. Any suggestions a drink pairing with the steak and cigar?

I suggest a south american red wine. NNo particular reason, just that is what I have had with this combo in the past and it has gone well. I do notice that whatever the drink tends to wash out the fat cells in your mouth left by the beef which is what really compliments the smoke so whatever your drink of choice, I would monitor the intake and limit it as much as possible if you want to maximize the cigar enjoyment.

Solid advice. Makes sense to me. Thanks a lot for the replay, Alex. I'll absolutely keep this in mind when I have my celebratory dinner. The San Lotano Habano is one of my favorite smokes!!

def agree it is a great stick. what do you think are the chances AJ would roll out a few of these in a corona size, maybe as a ccom exclusive like the corona sampler?? which btw i have been burning through, and LHC was one which i was very pleasantly surprised by. a solid med body stick with tons of leathery spice and flavor.

I think they have a lancero in the works but not a corona. I am going to see him on sunday so i will have to let you know.

Alex, you guys carry these but don't list them on the website if I recall correctly..? If so I may be interested in a couple of boxes. Also, I remember his (now defunct) signature series paired brilliantly with a ribeye as well. Any similarity in the blends?
