I have few cigars that make it into the “regular rotation”. This smoke has quickly made itself a staple in my humidor! (and my Top 10)
I was a huge fan of the original San Cristobal when it was released. I love most cigars that come from Nicaragua..especially when the Garcia family are involved. When I first saw the new version,The Eleganica, I wasn’t sure if it was for me. It has a connecticut-seed wrapper, which is usually associate with light-medium bodied smokes. But I gave it a try and was very impressed. It is definitely more mild than it’s relative (the original San Cristobal) but still has tons of flavor. The cigar band has some slight modifications from the original, but is still one of the best looking presentations I’ve seen. The construction and draw are great. I’ve smoked several of these and they are super consistent.
In conclusion… JK highly recommends! Make sure you give this smoke a try. I have handed these out to several of my friends and have never heard a complaint. They are even a great change of pace for someone that smokes stronger sticks usually. I bring them along for certain occasions.. especially a round of golf (as seen above).
