AJ Fernandez San Lotano Requiem Connecticut Robusto - Box of 20

You do not need a plan for this cigar. The San Lotano Requiem Connecticut Robusto fits every window, pairs with everything, and never demands the right moment. That is what a great Robusto in a mellow-medium blend is supposed to do.

Most AJ Fernandez cigars make a statement. The Maduro demands attention. The Habano commands respect. The Connecticut Robusto earns loyalty quietly, session after session, because it delivers real flavor without asking for a full commitment of time or palate preparation.

The blend is the same across the Connecticut Requiem line. Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade wrapper, Honduran Criollo binder, and a Nicaraguan and Dominican long-filler combination that AJ Fernandez built to perform above its weight class. Where the Robusto format changes the experience is in how the wrapper contributes to the draw. At 5 x 52 the wrapper-to-filler surface ratio is slightly higher than in the Toro's 6 x 52, which means the Connecticut Shade leaf is a bit more present from the first third. The initial draw opens with cream and hay from the wrapper, the Honduran binder's cedar note comes in quickly, and the Dominican-Nicaraguan filler adds the coffee-latte sweetness and toasted nut character that builds through to the finish.

What keeps buyers coming back to this specific format is the AJ Fernandez signature spice that threads through the mellow-medium body. A smoker who has only experienced underwhelming Connecticut cigars will be surprised by it every time. One buyer put it this way: "generally Connecticut wrappers are a bit too mild for me without much flavor, this surprised me, it's mellow with some good flavor and spice." Another: "he has created a full-flavored medium cigar." That is the pitch for the San Lotano Connecticut in the format that makes it most practically accessible.

The Robusto is forty-five to sixty minutes. It costs approximately $5.55 per stick from the box of 20, the most accessible price per cigar in the San Lotano Requiem lineup. These two facts make it the right choice for the smoker who wants quality Fernandez construction in a format they can smoke without occasion.
