San Cristobal la Punta: a Habanero Work of Art
Launched in 1999, the San Cristobal de La Habana brand carries with it the historic heritage of the city of Havana - formerly known as San Cristobal. The cigars in this series pay sincere homage to the city's guardian fortresses, demonstrating a deep respect for Cuban culture and history. The "La Punta" module stands out for its tribute to one of these fortresses, offering cigar lovers a trip back in time from the very first puff.
Its dimensions of 140 mm in length and 20.64 mm in diameter offer an inviting belicoso format, promising perfectly balanced tasting between 45 and 60 minutes. Its smooth, seductive chocolate wrapper immediately announces the exceptional quality of the carefully selected leaves.
Meticulous elaboration and aromatic profile
San Cristobal La Punta cigars are the fruit of undeniable expertise. Hand-rolled by expert torcedores, they embody the tradition of great Cuban cigars. Each cigar is a testament to the expertise passed down through generations, combining complexity and balance in a harmonious blend of flavors and textures.
The richness of the blend is revealed in a medium-intensity aromatic profile where spicy and floral notes intermingle. This palette expands and develops throughout the tasting, ensuring a rich, nuanced experience for connoisseurs.
The origins of taste: terroir and tradition
The tobacco used for these cigars comes from the most fertile regions of Cuba, where the reddish soil and tropical climate give the leaves an unrivalled quality. At every stage, from sowing to harvesting to fermentation, no concession is made to excellence. The result is a cigar with a perfect alchemy of taste, strength and character.
The "medium" power level is ideally designed to envelop the palate without knocking it out, allowing you to fully savor the subtle nuances of the aromas released. A symphony of flavors for the discerning connoisseur.
Construction and appearance
The rolling of each San Cristobal La Punta bears witness to impeccable craftsmanship. The delicately veined wrapper offers optimal resistance between the fingers, a sign of a construction designed for uniform combustion. The pyramid-shaped cut is not only a technical feat, but also an invitation to discover the rich flavours of Havana.
Tasting experience and ceremony
Choosing a San Cristobal La Punta means taking part in a ritual. From precise cutting to lighting, every gesture helps prepare the mind for a tasting experience that is a celebration of the senses. The cigar gradually releases its aromas, each puff building the story that the smoker deciphers with admiration.
