In the "What's hot? What's not? What's next?" segment of the show, Liz interviews Luis Molina, General Manager of the Habana Port Cigar Merchants in Covington, LA. A special thanks to listener Dan Lawson for putting Liz in contact with Luis.

Cigar of the Week - San Lotano Maduro by A.J. Fernandez.

San Lotano is the first line from AJ Fernandez NOT to be sold under someone else's banner. Already well known for blends like Man O War and Diesel, AJ has also built a fabulous reputation making cigars for such brands as Rocky Patel and Esteban Carreras. AJ is a master cigar blender and magnificent roller - I saw him roll a cigar on a board balanced on his knee. He has secured enough farmland to begin producing his own tobacco and that means he can now experiment with different varietals and blends so I expect some outstanding new cigars from him very soon. As a matter of fact, last week on the show Dale raved about the new Man O War Puro Authentico (Liz and I saw pre-release boxes in Nicaragua in January).
