Our selection for this herf is the San Lotano Maduro Robusto.First Impressions: The guys are really liking the @AJFcigars San Lotano Maduro Robusto so far.
Robert & John-D agree: So far so good, mellowing into rich dark chocolate and apple wood flavors. http://twitpic.com/9sm2rg
Fernand: It started out peppery, then went to dark chocolate through the first third, and now pleasant wood into the middle third.
John-L says the flavors mellow while remaining vibrant heading into the final third. Like a cayenne pepper chocolate bar!
