A rare profile arrives with marvelous density and balance in San Cristobal Ovation. An oily San Andrés wrapper is fermented for an extended period until a shimmering Oscuro complexion is achieved. Beneath it lies an ample interior of premium Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos grown on private Garcia family estates. Decadent notes of dark chocolate, coffee bean, hickory, cedar, and black pepper emerge before a creamy finish resonates.

The original San Cristobal blend debuted in 2007. A lustrous Ecuador Habano Oscuro wrapper leaf harbors a deep interior of premium Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. Bold, captivating flavors of dark chocolate, espresso, black cherry, walnut, and black pepper culminate in a potent but balanced finish in a collection of popular shapes. San Cristobal is a 93-rated Nicaraguan classic.
