San Cristobal Quintessence represents the pinnacle of master blender Jose 'Pepin' Garcia's artistry, earning recognition as Cigar Aficionado's #3 Cigar of the Year with a stellar 95-point rating. This medium to full-bodied cigar showcases captivating notes of cedar, coffee bean, cocoa, molasses, and spice with hints of fig, sugarcane, and dried fruit that create a complex and harmonious smoking experience.
Crafted as part of the esteemed collaboration between the Levin family of Ashton and the Garcia family of My Father Cigars, Quintessence features a glistening Cuban-seed wrapper leaf harvested in Ecuador surrounding premium aged Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos grown on Garcia family estates. Made at the My Father Cigars factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, each cigar is patiently rolled in Pepin's immaculate factory using traditional Cuban blending techniques that have made San Cristobal one of the most consistently high-rated premium cigar brands.
This rich, nutty and complex cigar conveys an earthy foundation of coffee bean character, a mid-palate of baking spices and a charming, cappuccino finish. The Quintessence exemplifies the Garcia family's profound understanding of Nicaraguan tobacco and represents a perfect balance within the San Cristobal portfolio, hitting the sweet spot between the medium-bodied San Cristobal Revelation and the full-bodied San Cristobal classic.
