Description
San Cristobal Quintessence is one of the amazing cigars in the Ashton lineup. After years of planning the first original style of San Cristobal was launched in 2007. With attention to detail, these great cigars are crafted by famed Master Blender Jose “Don Pepin” Garcia along with the owners of the Ashton brand. What’s more important is all San Cristobals are produced at the My Father factory. With this in mind,there are now five different lines in the San Cristobal series, all with different wrappers and flavor profiles.
To begin with, the San Cristobal Quintessence was introduced in 2017 garnering a 90 rating. As time passed it seems as though it got better! To put it another way, when it was reviewed in January 2022, Cigar Aficionado described it as follows, ” It’s rich, nutty and complex conveying an earthy foundation of coffee bean character, a mid-palate of baking spices and a charming, cappuccino finish.” What’s more important is Quintessence then rated an astounding 95 and was named a top 25 cigar again! Quintessence was blended to register as medium-to-full bodied flavor and does so splendidly.
To sum up, these great cigars are available in five popular sizes. We also have them available in five packs. So what are you waiting for? Any one you choose is a top pick and will not disappoint.

After years of planning the first original style San Cristobal was launched in 2007. Crafted by famed Master Blender Jose “Don Pepin” Garcia along with the owners of the Ashton brand. The Quintessence style is a solid medium to full bodied smoke that received a Top 25 status in 2018 when it was introduced along with a 92 rating. All the tobaccos used in these beautifully made cigars are aged 2 and 3 years respectively and are triple fermented which ensures an overall flavor unto itself. One of the great characteristics about this stick is that it possesses an interesting blend of sweetness and spice that builds along the way. .
