The San Cristobal Cigars were created for Ashton by Don Pepin Garcia in his Nicaraguan factory. Ashton has owned the brand name since the 1980's but waited patiently for the perfect blend of tobacco and the right manufacturer to come around and be used for this famous brand name. San Cristobal is blended entirely from rich Nicaraguan tobaccos and is wrapped in a dark chocolate brown, oily Nicaraguan grown wrapper. The flavor is rich and full bodied, but is a perfect balance between strength and flavor. San Cristobal is complex and loaded with hearty flavors of earth, cedar and spices that are accompanied by hints of walnuts, espresso and dark chocolate. Each cigar is constructed impeccably and finished with a traditional Cuban Triple-Cap.
