San Lotano Oval corona

Sounds incredible. The only SL blend I've tried so far is the maduro and it was really good. I'm heavily into coronas though, and I believe this is the only one he put in this size...looks like a good reason for it. Thanks for the review!

Tim set me up with a good deal on the San Lotano...2 Oval coronas...2 oval robustos...4 Habano robustos...and 2 maduro toros.... I just burned the first one of that order. All I can say is that there really is no reason to lust after Cuban cigars. This is the real deal... Sorry about not inserting paragraphs in the review. I just copied it from a word document, and assumed that it would stay intact.

Except that none of the San Lotanos have anything in common with Cuban cigars in terms of flavor profile, really at all. I like the San Lotanos, but like many other cigars that marketing departments call Cubanesque, there is nothing Cubanesque about them, at all.

All taste is subjective, by definition. This cigar reminded me of a Partagas D. I can only speak for myself, but that's my honest impression.

Taste is definitely subjective. If you enjoyed it and felt it tasted that way, awesome. And thanks for the review. Makes me want to get a couple since Coronas are my new favorite vitola. Don't let people prevent you from posting your opinion of a cigar.

If Cigar Aficionado rates the 2011 San Lotano Oval as high as Cigar Journal, these are going to get real scarce. But then again maybe CA didn't review them to be eligible...

I'm hoping to get a box of these for christmas. If I don't, I'll be treating myself to at least one box.

I had the robusto recently and it was excellent! I'm seriously thinking about getting a box after the new year myself.

My favorite cigar to date. Had one tonight and the only disappointment was that it was not bigger. Truly a great cigar.

Well, after Christmas I ended up with a box each of Oval coronas and robustos. By some miracle, I still have about 2/3 still in the box. The only way to justify my original comparison with the Oval and the PD4 is to come up with a bunch of 'em, but that's not so easy to do. Anybody have any suggestions?????????????

I really love the size, but think it would be even better if it were about 6.5" long.

Haven't had the Corona, yet. I've got a Belicoso resting in my humidor for the time being. I figure another couple of months should suffice. Awesome review, by the way.
