Pinolero Maduro by A.J. Fernandez

Just prior to the 2013 IPCPR Trade Show, we learned the Pinolero Maduro will become the second blend in A.J. Fernandez’s Pinolero line.  Last year, the Pinolero made its debut in a Sun Grown wrapper. This year the same blend now is also going to be available, but this time in a maduro.

In describing the Pinolero line, the company explains in their marketing material  “Pinolero is A.J.’s long awaited addition to the San Lotano family of cigars.  Pinolero – a colloquial term for ‘local’ – features the finest tobaccos from diverse regions of Nicaragua.”

The original Sun Grown Pinolero finished as our #20 Cigar for 2012.
