San Cristobal Quintessence

Has one of these in a larger stick from a cigar shop and absolutely loved it. So far have smoked around 10 out of the box and every one has been a really bad burn with had draw. The flavor is great but construction on the box I received is obviously off.

Always one of my go to cigars. Nice 45min smoke. Very smooth, a must have in the humidor. Best prices around.

Big fan of Garcia’s best tobaccos. A lot are very strong and peppery, which is what we all love. But I’ve always wanted something smoother in my humi. As I smoke through this box of Toros I don’t find it matches the spec sheet description, but still very good. Wonderful thick smoke. I find these very round and pleasing. Medium smoothness. Pepper only comes in at let 1/3. Most of smoke is woody and I’d there to any coffee it’s a very medium creamy coffee. Quick finish, take notes of almond. No figs. I prefer rich peppery smokes but this is absolutely needed to round out your humidor. Reminds me of Cuban hoyo epi 2, when they were good. This will stay in my rotation!

Personally, I'd put this as the best cigar of the year. At least for me, it has the right combination of aromas and tasting notes that I can't get enough of.

You start with the expected flavors, tropical nuts and coffee, good but not surprising. Then you get to the earthy espresso it becomes an inspired smoke. Five Stars!

Like sitting on a beach, listening to the gentle roar of the waves go in and out with the warm sun caressing your face.

It's like they took the sensation of sipping rum on a Caribean beach and put it into cigar form.

This has replaced my morning coffee, the java flavor is glorious. Not to mention the nutty notes in there make it a sweet treat.

Nice balanced smoke. Leathery smoothness. Good quality fit the price.

Elegant and flawless performance from start to finish in a mild to medium body. Beautiful stick and banding. Rarely do I splurge on a stick this pricey but this has joined the top of my list for special occasions!
