After years of planning the first original style San Cristobal was launched in 2007, crafted by famed Master Blender Jose “Don Pepin” Garcia along with the owners of the Ashton brand. The Quintessence style is a mellow to medium bodied smoke that received a 91 rating. All the tobaccos used in these beautifully made cigars are aged 2 and 3 years respectively and are triple fermented which ensures an overall flavor unto itself. This cigar's three seam cap assures a perfectly smooth draw and yields a creamy coffee like taste. Origin - Nicaragua Filler - Nicaraguan Binder - Nicaraguan Wrapper Type - Ecuador Connecticut
