Celebrated cigar-maker Jose “Pepin” Garcia embraces his remarkable talents as a world-class blender with San Cristobal Quintessence. Drawn from a luscious Ecuador Habano wrapper and the finest, premium aged binder and filler tobaccos grown on the Garcia family estates, Quintessence is patiently rolled in Pepin’s immaculate factory in Estelí, Nicaragua, in four classic formats. Captivating notes of molasses, coffee and black pepper intrigue the palate with a placid sweetness. Hints of dried fruit, figs and sugarcane gather in wonderful proportion to culminating spices. Cool, civil aromas emanate throughout a medium to full-bodied finish. San Cristobal Quintessence exemplifies Pepin’s rise to prominence with tasteful indulgence.
San Cristobal Quintessence: The splendor of the San Cristobal Quintessence Churchill is apparent to everyone, with Cigar Aficionado awarding it a 95 rating and the #3 ranking for all of 2021 writing "Everything came together quite harmoniously with the large Churchill. 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."
San Cristobal Quintessence received an outstanding 90-rating from Cigar Aficionado magazine in the June 2017 issue!
San Cristobal Quintessence was Voted #1 Cigar of 2016 by Cigar Journal magazine!
Cigar Journal said, "This perfectly rolled cigar is impressive in its sweetish coffee taste and dried fruit. The fruity notes come into their own wonderfully in the silky smoke. The light peppery spice is stimulating." ...Read More
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.

San Cristobal Quintessence Epicure-toro
Finally a solid medium Garcia smoke
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!

San Cristobal does it again
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.

Smooth as velvet
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!

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.

My go to cigar!
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!
