The San Lotano Line, Supercharged

San Lotano cigars came out of nowhere to become a household name among cigar enthusiasts, and The Bull takes the brand to an entirely new level. Released under AJ Fernandez’s own label, The Bull represents the boldest expression of the San Lotano line—a full-strength powerhouse that lives up to its name. While the original San Lotano offerings ranged from mellow to full, The Bull was designed from the ground up for experienced smokers who crave intensity.

Built for Strength

The Bull features well-aged Nicaraguan long-fillers from AJ Fernandez’s farms in Estelí, bound with a Nicaraguan binder and finished with a rich, beautiful Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. The Gordo format—measuring a generous 6 inches by 60 ring gauge—ensures a cool, slow burn that allows the complex flavors to develop fully. The box-press format packs the tobacco down for an even, concentrated smoking experience.

The Blend and Flavor

This full-bodied cigar hits with authority from the first draw. The flavor profile opens with bold earth and espresso, quickly joined by leather and a sharp peppery spice. As the cigar develops, notes of dark chocolate, toasted wood, and nuts emerge, adding richness to the powerful core. The retrohale carries a pronounced pepper and mineral quality that builds throughout the session. The finish is long and bold, with lingering impressions of charred wood and espresso that demand respect from start to nub.
