San Cristobal Seleccion Del Sol

Montano · 12-31-2009, 06:48 PM

New Year's Eve and I was ready for a relaxing smoke. The sun was blazing and it was beautiful outside. This had been calling me the last few times I went to the humi. I decided to pair it with a glass (or 2) of Bulleit.

The burns was nice, but the ashes kept flaking like crazy. It starts out very smooth and creamy. Ample amounts of smoke from a very easy draw. Construction is very nice on this cigar.

The creamy flavor moved on to a nutty note. The cigar was burning at a nice pace. The flavors are nice and smooth. Ash continues to resemble that of a cigar that's about to explode.

My glass was empty, so I went inside to grab the bottle. Cigar transitioned again to a earthy leather note. I was really enjoying the afternoon.

Coming down the home stretch it again switched up to a lite pepper note. I really felt relaxed after spending a bit over an hour smoking this medium bodied cigar. I will be sure to keep an eye out for more of these.

Thanks for the review. I picked one up of these a few weeks ago and have been waiting for the right opportunity to light it up. (aka +50 degrees)

Nice review Nick. I had one last month and enjoyed it as well. It's a nice change from the Regular SC's.

An excellent cigar. I like these better than the "regular" San Cristobal. Thanks for the review!

I was gifted some of these by RGD, a very good cigar imo.

Nice review.
I picked one up at the B&M not noticing the extra band at the time. Smoked it yesterday. Very flavorful. I thought it less peppery than the regular SC.
