San Cristobal cigars have evolved out of the partnership between Ashton Cigars and Jose “Pepin” Garcia to make for tantalizing connoisseur favorites which have something to offer everyone. And the San Cristobal Quintessence has become one of the top choices with a complex and savory medium-to-full bodied smoke touched with hints of coffee, pepper, fig and spice flavors.

As with all other San Cristobal cigars, each San Cristobal Quintessence cigar is made at Don Pepin’s factory in Esteli, Nicaragua utilizing binder and filler tobaccos cultivated by the Garcia family. For this particular line, a hearty Ecuadorian Habano wrapper leaf was chosen, completing a bold, yet balanced smoke. The 6” x 60 Majestic and 5 ½” x 50 Robusto are both 90-rated standouts.
