San Lotano Oval Rubusto
Size : 5.5 x 54
Wrapper : Ecuadorian Habano
Filler : Nicaraguan&Honduran
Binder : Nicaraguan


I have not found a review of this cigar on CP so thought I would try and do one.

This afternoon I sat in my local park with a black coffee and lit up the robusto size Oval. In your face smoking nazi's.

I noted that it had a soft dense pack and was a chore to get my cutter through. However it lit and burned well throughout, with a fairly even burn. Cold draw was minimal with a light tobacco scent and flavour.

Appearance: Dark brown wrapper and filler. Smooth with a couple small veins

Flavour: Wonderful burning smell, easy draw. Very little flavour on the draw, but a pronounced pepper heat on the retro hale. The cigar produced a dry alternating wood and dry cocoa taste with no sweetness. Some leather fading in and out. The flavours were quite smooth , and never went beyond medium body. Caused a bit of dry mouth. At times there was a bit of strength and I got a little buzzy once or twice.

The overall effect was of a well put together and refined smoke.

The cigar had been in my tupperdor for about 5 months and seemed a little damp. This likely impacted flavour a bit. I will have to check my RH.

May seem like a luke warm review , but I would certainly buy another. Not exactly my favorite profile but very nice.
 
I picked up a 5 pack of these after trying one the other day. The one I smoked was good.
 
Thanks for the review. I have one of these in my humidor resting until the right time.

Possibly the right time will be in the morning....
 
Got a 5-er and I have to agree - not heads and shoulders above my regulars, but a nice stick that's a solid smoke. Decent price point, as well.
 
I've gone through 2 of these so far, 3 more sitting and resting. I didn't find any wow factor, but I attribute that to the shock of shipping.
 
Nice review. Going to pick a couple up this week and give them a try.

For some reason I have never been able to enjoy this cigar. The San Lotano Maduro and Habano I love but I am the only person that I know that does not like this cigar. I have tried 3 and it just won't click.
 
Thanks for the review! I have heard good things about them but yet to pick any up. The owner at my B&M whole has a similar palette as me told me to give them a try and that I would really like them
 
I like the Oval. If you have a chance to try the Emilio AF1 and 2. Try them. Made by AJ Fernendez.
