San Cristobal La Punta - 25 cigars

Product Review (submitted on August 22, 2011):

The San Cristobal La Punta is a very straightforward cigar with great credentials. Its dark. evenly colored wrapper does not always scream of its Cuban heritage; hence, many times it looks as though it could easily be a product of the Dominican Republic or Nicaragua.

Notwithstanding, it makes up for its lackluster appearance in spades once ignited. Hidden beneath lies the heart of a tiger waiting to be released. As it begins to take control of your destiny for the total time it will be with you, it offers up a rich, peppery goodness and subtle nuances of various highly enjoyable scents and tastes that will stimulate your senses.

This Habano is a good solid performer that varies little in quality or overall performance from any of the slightly more revered cigars in its size and weight division.

For the price, it delivers some of the most bang for the buck of any cigars available today. It never fails to perform consistently. Its flavor profile reminds me a great deal of the Monty #2, while the burn and ash are quite similar to the Robaina Unico.

I always keep a box of these on hand and smoke them frequently. They continue to be one of my favorite cigars and are one of the best values in Cuban cigars.
