The house
The story of San Cristobal
San Cristobal is a project between Ashton Cigar Company and My Father Cigar. Its cigars are manufactured by My Father Cigars and blended by Don Pepin Garcia in Nicaragua.
The original San Cristobal blend is made entirely from well-aged Nicaraguan tobaccos, including a dark Nicaraguan wrapper. The full-bodied profile includes notes described as earth, cedar, spice, walnuts, espresso, black cherries and dark chocolate.
San Cristobal Quintessence is made at the My Father cigar factory by the Garcia family. Its Ecuadorian Habano wrapper covers a Nicaraguan binder and long-fillers grown on Garcia family farms.
In 2021, Cigar Aficionado named San Cristobal Quintessence No. 3 in its Cigar of the Year ranking and awarded it a 95 rating.

How they make them
San Cristobal cigars are hand-rolled long-fillers. The original blend combines well-aged Nicaraguan wrapper, binder and filler tobaccos and is finished with a traditional Cuban triple-seam cap. Quintessence pairs an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and long-filler tobaccos grown on Garcia family farms.
