San Cristobal - Revelation

Sep 15

You know those moments where you find yourself in the right place at the right time? That was how it felt when an Ashton rep hooked me up with a San Cristobal Revelation. The San Cristobal brand was born from a great relationship between Jose & Jaime Garcia and Robert & Sathya Levin, the father-and-son owners of iconic Ashton cigars. Together they explored a partnership and in 2006 launched a new endeavor…San Cristobal.

My first thought was the gorgeous, brown wrapper. It looks like a fantastic cigar…and it is. The band is bright and colorful. Light up and draw were smooth. The flavors were smooth and consistent throughout the entire cigar. I didn’t experience any issues relating to a tough draw or needing to relight. A delightful, medium-bodied smoke from beginning to end. One that I recommend you give a try if you haven’t.

Not sure if this one is for you? You will be a fan if you enjoy other medium-bodied cigars. Especially those from the Ashton and La Aroma de Cuba lines.
