what i read aj was to said> The wrapper is h2000 grown in Ecuador. It is top ligero priming which he has just enough of to jive with the limited release qty. So think ruination wrapper but darker and stronger. He is also using some of that special Honduras stuff from the new region in the filler. Aside from the honduran filler which is still pretty new, all other tobaccos are at least 4 years old and some up to 7 years aged. He says the cigar is made from a lot of his favorite tobaccos from vintage years and he is very excited about it. They will debut at the trades is this summer and roll out to retail in Q3 or Q4. No word on pricing but I was told it won’t be crazy. Maybe $10 to $14. Boxes will be 30 cigars to a box and each box will be numbered and plated and made entirely by hand using some rare and expensive hard woods, all naturally colored and varnished. That with this new shape which is an industry first should make this an interesting smoke.
I know that oftentimes pricing can be a reason to be unable to sell them online or otherwise advertise certain cigars, but why would there be other San Lotano's available for purchase online but not these? Wouldn't the makers of this cigar want as much publicity as possible?
I'm probably missing something very obvious. Maybe a deal with specific vendors or something like that?
Guys, just got back from the warehouse and these look amazing. I have the robusto (5.5 x 54) counted in and ready to ship. Email me tblythe@cigar.com for a deal. but please don't repost pricing.

Some may be able to elaborate more, but all the San Lotano Lines are B&M only. There are no online San Lotano Advertizing or Sales in either the existing or the new line, here on Ccom, or on any other online vendor. You can buy them from Ccom, if you contact them directly, becuase thats more along the B&M sales track than ordering through the website. This is the reason that Ccom asks us to not post of the prices of these in the forum, becuase it would blur the lines a bit too much.
Just wanted to address your question as best I could man.
I had placed an order on the 27th for a box of Cu-Avana Intenso Robusto. Alex's post got me interested so I called CCom this morning and spoke with Andrew. They had not processed my order yet and I was able to add 2 five packs of the San Lotano Robustos to my order. The combined order will be delivered on the 31st.
