San Cristobal Classico

San Cristobal Classico
Robusto 5 x 50

Wrapper: Nicaragua
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Nicaragua

This cigar comes in a fine leathery coffee brown wrapper. The wrapper imparts a coppery leather smell. The prelight draw delivers a peppery draw with a hint of cocao.

lighting up was an easy task. This is a cigar with a very dry flavor and is best smoked with a drink of some sort. Coffee would be nice though some alcohol would not be bad either. The smoke a rich bluish white smoke has a sedate taste of pepper with hints of leather and mellows out to a brothy spicy taste. You can definitely taste the Pepin Garcia influence in this cigar. If you are looking to break into the Pepin line this may be a good intro as it does not have the full spicy swing most Pepin cigars have.

The ash is a nice strong white ash that can last for half the cigar before falling off on its own. The cigar finishes off in a nice mellow brothiness. A very nice smoke and were it nor for the price break would make a wonderful everyday smoke.

These are a good smoke. I have to agree with you that the price is a little high and puts them out of range for an everyday smoke.

Nice review, I love San Cristobals.

Cigarplace has the best prices I've seen, but they're currently out of stock of most of the sizes.
