Master cigar-maker Jose ‘Pepin’ Garcia and his son, Jaime Garcia, channel precise tobacco-growing traditions in San Cristobal. Because every plant is nursed with an unrushed touch, the Cuban legacy of their forefathers thrives. Premium binder and filler tobaccos are cultivated from Nicaragua’s prized volcanic soils in Estelí, Condega, Jalapa, and Namanji. An immeasurable degree of care shields every crop from seed to harvest and during fermentation. Sunlight, rain, and irrigation waters are dispatched in unerring ratios to ensure a pristine and healthy crop at the end of every growth cycle.

Leading estates in Ecuador and the San Andrés valley in Mexico yield impeccable wrapper varietals, in addition to those harvested from select Garcia family fields in Nicaragua. A comprehensive San Cristobal portfolio is blended with uncompromising standards from only the finest binder, filler, and wrapper pairings for optimal flavor and aroma.

Patience is a quintessential ingredient in every San Cristobal cigar. Because time must pass for tobacco to reveal its truest character, every leaf is aged extensively with a blend of historic and modern techniques. Minimum durations of two and three years elapse before our tobaccos are considered mature.

Every leaf undergoes an ample Triple Fermentation to ensure sheer flavor. As a result, San Cristobal cigars reveal unparalleled taste and complexity. We grow our tobaccos in concert with nature and age our harvests in concert with time. Always, we will wait to achieve perfection.

Attention to quality, texture, and appearance is considered fully in the manufacture of every cigar. Senior cigar rollers handcraft San Cristobal with a meticulous recipe of seasoned tobaccos in the Garcia family’s advanced cigar factory in Estelí, Nicaragua.

Because the Garcia family personally mentors and presides over every member of their rolling gallery, a genuine yearning for the craft of cigar-making lies at the heart of San Cristobal. From every rolling table, a connection to the finished product resonates with an authentic sense of pride. No cigar is absent the personal touch of its roller.

San Cristobal cigars are laid to rest in a cedar aging room for an extended period after they are rolled. Distinctive nuances from each leaf of tobacco converge in a uniform profile in every cigar as a result. Commanding but smooth tastes captivate the senses.

The final step in our production sequence is our packaging. An emblematic parrot echoes the excitement of high seas and blissfully adorns the bands and boxes that embrace San Cristobal cigars. Vivid detail and unrivaled color emanate from every box with magnificent intricacy. San Cristobal cigars embody reflection, recreation, and peace.
