Awesome. Looking forward to trying this one, since the San Lotano blends are so good. Really interested to see how the shape changes the smoking experience. I know Fuente has rolled cigars (just special CFCF stuff) in this weird oval shape before, but not anything I'd ever be able to get my hands on.

Great review, Alex. I'm looking forward to trying these. Can you speculate as to a time frame for availability and potential price point? Also, will these be like the other San Lotano blends that are unavailable online (B&M only)? Thanks!

Alex Svenson

Mid august. $7 to$8 and we won't be able o advertise online so you will have to call for availability.

Oval sized cigar sounds interesting, I'm not a fan of the huge ring guages usually so do you think AJ will come out with the cigar in different ring gauges/shapes?

+1 that size doesn't appeal to me but im def. Looking forward to trying it. I love the original San Lotano.

Sounds interesting, but something I'm gonna pass on. So much nicotine and pepper just isn't my thing; too unbalanced. Think I'll stick with San Lotano

For you guys worries about size, I believe the new line has about 5 vitolas. This was just the one I smokes. I will hit the booth this afternoon and get you the complete list of sizes.

Really looking forward to this. The overwhelming majority of AJ's stuff has been good for me.

Well I tried another today and this time got a different result. The pepper was not as crazy as yesterday. My palate must be off as this one while still full bodied and rich had some definately differences but I thought a welcome change. I would comare these somewhat to the JDN Antano in terms of character if that makes sense.
