About San Lotano Bull

San Lotano Bull is the box‑pressed San Lotano expression wrapped in Ecuadorian Sumatra and built over Nicaraguan binder and filler. Soft‑launched in 2013, the Bull sits in the medium‑full strength lane and opens cedar‑and‑pepper forward before developing coffee, dark chocolate and cream. Its box‑pressed format, cedar sleeve and firm construction mark it as a sturdier, more focused San Lotano.

Filler

Nicaraguan long‑filler

The Sumatra leaf and the box‑press give the Bull a firmer, meatier mouthfeel than other San Lotano entries. Expect dark cinnamon Sumatra oil on the surface, a cedar‑and‑pepper opening, then dark chocolate and coffee with a creamy undercurrent through the middle third. The finish often circles back to pepper with a touch of sweetness from the wrapper. Construction is firm and consistent—tight packs, steady burn and a resilient draw—so the blend’s spice and wood notes come through with clarity rather than harshness.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Bull uses an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan long‑filler, a combination chosen to push cedar and pepper forward while supporting dark chocolate and coffee notes through the midsection.
