AJ Fernandez San Lotano Bull Gordo - Box of 20

The Bull at its widest. A 6 x 60 box-pressed Gordo that gives the Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper and the all-Nicaraguan core the most room they get in any format this line offers.

Everything the Bull Toro and Bull Robusto deliver, the Gordo delivers more slowly and with more separation between each element. At 60 ring gauge the heat of the burn distributes across a wider column of premium Nicaraguan long-filler, which cools the smoke and changes how the Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper leads the session. In the narrower vitolas the Sumatra wrapper's earth and pepper are immediate and assertive. In the Gordo they are still present from the first draw but more measured, which gives the dark cocoa, charred oak, and espresso notes from the Nicaraguan core earlier prominence and more development time in the body of the smoke.

This is the format that experienced Bull smokers choose when they want to spend real time with the blend. Ninety-plus minutes of the Sumatra and Nicaraguan combination at full development, with every flavor note properly separated rather than compressed into a shorter arc. The box press on the Gordo is one of the more impressive in the lineup: AJ Fernandez's factory handles the 60 ring gauge box press cleanly, and the Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper holds the shape firmly across the full width.

At $6.85 per stick from the box of 20, the Gordo is the premium size in the Bull lineup and the logical step for anyone who has smoked through the Robusto and Toro and wants the version of The Bull that takes up the full afternoon.

Flavor progression:

1. First third: Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper opens with earth and pepper, more measured at 60 ring than in narrower sizes, cedar establishing alongside
2. Second third: dark cocoa, espresso, and charred oak come forward prominently, the all-Nicaraguan filler at full expression, spice building
3. Final third: bold, sustained finish with pepper, cedar, and cocoa holding across the full close
