San Cristobal
San Cristobal is born from an extensive Cuban tradition at the hands of celebrated cigar-maker Jose ‘Pepin’ Garcia. Known today as simply “Pepin,” Garcia began rolling cigars at the age of eleven in Cuba where he rose to prominence as a master cigar-maker over the course of a distinguished, decades-long career. Pepin immigrated to the U.S. in the early 2000s.
Pepin’s emergence as a maker of premium Nicaraguan cigars is owed to an ever-present collaboration with his son, Jaime Garcia. Together, the father-and-son cigar-makers discovered a strong, mutual bond with Robert Levin and Sathya Levin, the father-and-son owners of the iconic Ashton brand. San Cristobal officially launched in 2007. Since its inception, the brand has been regarded for a number of highly rated, high-profile releases that exemplify Pepin’s finest work and a shared commitment between the Garcias and the Levins to produce the finest cigars in the world.
Today, the brand’s versatile portfolio pays homage to an unrivaled Garcia family legacy rooted in tradition and dedication to the craft of cigar making. Pepin and Jaime influence every cigar with an unwavering regard for cultivating, aging, and blending fine tobacco to achieve an evolution of taste and aroma that began generations ago. Savor a journey of determination, revival, and distinction from San Cristobal.
