  • San Cristobal de La Habana La Punta

    This is the cigar that JoeyGunz loved so much that he bought a box off the back of two singles so that was good enough reason for me to give it a test drive. It's a good looking torpedo measuring 5.5" x53 with a slightly toothy Colorado Claro wrapper with a slight spring to it and a sweet Cuban tobacco smell. The construction looked perfect with a slightly splayed foot and once cut the cold draw was smooth and the wrapper had a little saltiness to it, not much in the way of flavour unlit. The cut end revealed a very tightly packed filler.
    It lit easily and was soon producing lots of smooth creamy smoke with a leathery flavour and the saltiness from the wrapper also persisted for a while.
    The ash dropped in my lap at around the inch mark and the burn needed correcting about half way down. This stick needed three relights and was getting quite soft but not hot towards the end. After the half way mark sone distinct toasted nut flavours developed along with a little pepperiness that increased into the final third.
    Overall a very nice cigar that lasted me a good ninety minutes but with so many more cigars to taste I wouldn't go so far as to get a box yet.

    Campana looks to be a great size and I was considering it for my next group test.

    The San Cristobal sounds promising flavour wise. Good review!

      Nice reveiw PJ, had a few myself but never bother bying any myself. The SC brand doesn't really do anything for me, the one decent exception the el Morro, which like the fort stands effortlessly above the rest IMHO.

          I like to keep my options open especially after Joey's recommendation. Next one will be an NC

            Good reviewing PJ, and you were on the right track. I'm going to disagree with Simon for once, the El Morro is good, but not the best SCdlH .... it's the Muralla, the La Punta's bigger brother!

                I've got a little El Principe in mine. It has decent reviews so I'm looking forward to trying it

                  I had a box of Principe a few ago, from memory they definitely benefitted a lot from a year of ageing.

                  The Muralla I found a real beast, nice but a little one dimensional for me, my favourite so far has been the La Casa release Mercaderes.

                      Probably the CAO Moondance that was talked about on here a few weeks ago.

                          I'm probably the only member to like nearly all the San Cristobal offerings..even to the extent of paying stupid money for o'reilly's..

                            Tippex, I should have qualified my statement, I was thinking of current lines available: both the Mercaderes & Muralla are indeeed better smokes. Scotty, have you tried the O'Reilly's yet? If so are they worth checking out?
