Default San Cristobal Seleccion Del Sol Robusto Cigar Vid



This 5×52 stick offers a dark milk chocolate wrapper with small veins and a slightly soapy tobacco aroma. Burn was overall very good never needing any touchups, with a perfect draw – just the right amount of resistance. Smoke output was huge and very thick, chewy at points and always cool down to the nub. Total burn time was 1 hour to the last 1/2″. Flavors were complex with multiple transitions. They included wood, earth, leather, pepper, spice, nuts, cream and were always smooth. Body and strength fluctuated, building from medium to full at the 1/2 way point, then back down to about a medium-full at the end. Video on site.

Nice review. Loved this cigar at the trade show then I got some more 2 months later and felt the flavors/blend changed. However I just had another last week and enjoyed it just as much as the first time. I thought this stick was one of the hits of the trade show along with the My Father 1922's.
