A.J. 費(fèi)爾南德斯與多米尼加的雪茄制造商喬希·布蘭科（Jochy Blanco）合作的一款圣洛塔諾多米尼加系列終于要上市了,，原本計(jì)劃1月份發(fā)貨,，但費(fèi)爾南德斯覺(jué)得雪茄還需要再繼續(xù)發(fā)酵幾個(gè)月才能達(dá)到最佳狀態(tài),，于是,，這個(gè)系列一直到現(xiàn)在才準(zhǔn)備向零售商發(fā)貨,。

原本規(guī)劃了五個(gè)尺寸,，費(fèi)爾南德斯最后放棄了皇冠型號(hào)?，F(xiàn)在多米尼加系列有四個(gè)尺寸，羅布圖,，50環(huán)徑,，5英寸。公牛,，50環(huán)徑,，6英寸。魚(yú)雷,，盒壓造型,，52環(huán)徑，6.5英寸。高達(dá),，60環(huán)徑,，6.25英寸。雪茄的售價(jià)從每支8.5美元到10美元不等,。
圣洛塔諾的多米尼加系列是A.J. 費(fèi)爾南德斯負(fù)責(zé)經(jīng)銷,，在邁阿密以外的區(qū)域銷售。第一批貨已經(jīng)發(fā)貨給零售商,。
San Lotano Dominicano, a collaboration between A.J. Fernandez and José “Jochy” Blanco, is finally coming to market. It was supposed to ship to retailers in January, but Fernandez thought the cigars needed a few more months to be optimal. Now, the smokes are ready and should be arriving to retail shops this week.
Made in the Dominican Republic at Blanco’s Tabacalera Palma factory, San Lotano Dominicano cigars contain tobacco grown by both Fernandez and Blanco. The blend consists of Cuban-seed, Brazilian wrapper, Dominican binder and a filler mix of Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos. The Nicaraguan tobacco is grown by Fernandez whereas the Dominican leaf is grown by Blanco.
Originally slated for five sizes, Fernandez dropped the Corona, so San Lotano Dominicano now comes in four vitolas: Robusto, at 5 inches by 50 ring gauge; Toro, 6 by 50; Torpedo (box-pressed), 6 1/2 by 52; and Gordo, 6 1/4 by 60. Suggested retail prices range from $8.50 to $10.
The San Lotano Dominicano line is distributed by A.J. Fernandez out of Miami. First shipments went out to retailers yesterday.
