San Cristobal Cigars
San Cristobal is a cigar brand owned by Ashton Distributors since its debut in 2007. It was the company’s entry into Nicaragua and has since made its mark in the cigar industry. Most of the Ashton cigars were previously made in the Dominican Republic.
There are five different lines that San Cristobal offers; they are San Cristobal, San Cristobal Elegancia, San Cristobal Quintessence, San Cristobal Revelation, and San Cristobal Ovation. San Cristobal Elegancia, released in 2011, is a milder blend compared to the original San Cristobal. It features a Connecticut wrapper that has been beautifully aged and fermented to give a milder profile.
In 2016, San Cristobal Quintessence was launched. This regular-production blend is now available in stores nationwide. Its name signifies the embodiment of perfection, and the blend truly lives up to its name. Two sizes are available: Muralla, which is a trumpet-shaped cigar measuring 7.1 x 54 ring gauge and El Fundadores, measuring 7.6 x 38 ring gauge in size.
San Cristobal Revelation, released in 2013, has a rich and full-bodied flavor. It has a dark Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper and features a blend of Nicaraguan and Dominican long-fillers. This cigar is a treat for those who enjoy a more robust flavor profile.
San Cristobal Ovation was released in 2018 and is considered to be the brand's flagship cigar. It features a unique blend of premium tobacco from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. It also has an Ecuadorian habano wrapper that has been hand-selected for its beautiful dark, oily appearance. This cigar is perfect for those who love full-bodied and complex flavors.
Pairing San Cristobal Cigars with your favorite drink can truly bring out their flavors. For instance, pairing a San Cristobal Elegancia with a light and refreshing drink like a Pilsner beer can enhance its mild and creamy notes. On the other hand, pairing a San Cristobal Revelation with a rich and complex drink like a single malt scotch can emphasize its spicy and earthy flavors.
In conclusion, the San Cristobal Cigars brand offers a variety of blends that cater to cigar enthusiasts with different flavor preferences. Whether you prefer milder or fuller-bodied cigars, San Cristobal has something for you. In addition, pairing your San Cristobal cigar with your favorite drink can enhance its flavor and provide a unique smoking experience.
