San Cristobal


COROJO/CRIOLLO , FULL , NICARAGUA

From Ashton Cigars comes this timeless brand that originated in Cuba during the 20th Century. Blended and rolled by legendary cigar maker Don Pepin Garcia, the San Cristobal is a full bodied maduro.

Jose “Pepin” Garcia, a man well known for owning some of the best-fermented Nicaraguan tobacco in the world, blended San Cristobal. With exceptional materials, he crafts rich, flavorful cigars, most of which are extremely complex. A 30-year veteran of several Cuban factories, Pepin is considered one of the best cigar rollers in the world! He now hand picks and trains all of his employees who work in his Nicaraguan and Miami factories.

San Cristobal represents Ashton’s first new brand since the debut of the highly rated La Aroma de Cuba line in 2002. Blended with 100% Nicaraguan tobacco, the San Cristobal is strong and balanced with notes of notes of earth, cedar and spice on the palate.
