A.J. 费尔南德斯与多米尼加的雪茄制造商乔希·布兰科（Jochy Blanco）合作的一款圣洛塔诺多米尼加系列终于要上市了，原本计划1月份发货，但费尔南德斯觉得雪茄还需要再继续发酵几个月才能达到最佳状态，于是，这个系列一直到现在才准备向零售商发货。
费尔南德斯在2010年推出圣罗塔诺品牌，其中这个多米尼加系列是在多米尼加共和国的帕尔马雪茄厂卷制，这家雪茄厂是布兰科所有。这个系列的茄衣是巴西种植的古巴种子烟叶，茄套是多米尼加烟叶，茄芯是多米尼加和尼加拉瓜的混合烟叶。所有尼加拉瓜的烟叶是费尔南德斯种植的，多米尼加的烟叶是布兰科种植的。
原本规划了五个尺寸，费尔南德斯最后放弃了皇冠型号。现在多米尼加系列有四个尺寸，罗布图，50环径，5英寸。公牛，50环径，6英寸。鱼雷，盒压造型，52环径，6.5英寸。高达，60环径，6.25英寸。雪茄的售价从每支8.5美元到10美元不等。
圣洛塔诺的多米尼加系列是A.J. 费尔南德斯负责经销，在迈阿密以外的区域销售。第一批货已经发货给零售商。
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.
