San Cristobal…one of my all time favorites!

There are few brands that I always have in my humidor and consistently purchase when stocking up. The San Cristobal is high on that list.

The San Cristobal gets points with me in several areas. 1) It’s priced reasonably (Prices range from $8-$12) 2) It’s a strong blend of nicaraguan tobaccos 3) It’s available at most shops 4) It’s super consistent every time I light one up. I’ve smoked several over the years and am never disappointed.san cristobal cigar review

 I got a chance to burn one of my favorite sizes the other night, the Fabuloso (6.125 x 52). Two of my great friends joined me and enjoyed a San Cristobal,  as well. One was in the mood for something a little lighter so he lit up the San Cristobal Elegancia, which is still a great smoke with tons of flavor (Click here to read more about the Elegancia). san cristobal cigar

You can see that this cigar burns slow and even. It has a great draw and a steady amount of strong flavors throughout. I enjoy ever inch of this smoke.

In Conclusion… JK highly recommends this smoke! Put it on your list to purchase a few next time you get into your local retailer.

The San Cristobal Elegancia.. one of my favorites

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.san cristobal elegancia cigar 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. san cristobal elegancia cigar

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).
