Thread: San Cristobal Guajiro

  1. #1

    Default San Cristobal Guajiro

    I wasn't planning on doing a review so I didn't have my camera to take pics. I just started jotting down notes because the cigar was surprisingly good (I had no expectations going in). I didn't find any reviews on this cigar from doing a quick search.

    San Cristobal Guajiro (6.625 x 46)

    Really smooth, leathery wrapper. Some small veins. Smells sweet.

    Pre-light taste: Delicious. Sweet.

    1/3: Really, really good. Leathery. Some salt here and there. Small hints of chocolate covered cherries. Slight pepper aftertaste. Smoke smells a little like chocolate, too.

    Burn: Fairly even all around.

    Ash: Layered. White speckled with black. A little flaky. Stayed on for 1/2".

    2/3: Same good flavors with an added tobacco flavor. Seems to have increased in strength. Starting to burn uneven.

    3/3: Just like the middle 1/3 in strength. Frequent touch-ups needed. Still really good flavor with more tobacco flavor.

    Overall: Great smoke. I never tasted flavors like that before in one cigar. Leathery, salty, chocolate-cherry flavor with hints of tobacco that increased as I smoked. Everything blended well together and only changed for the better. Even the uneven burn couldn't detract from this. 9/10. I really need to get more of these.
    Each day I break my previous record of consecutive days alive.

    i am a huge fan of the San Cristobal line, i always pick one up when i am buying a batch to fill the humidor, or one or two for the weekend.

    great review, i hadn't noticed the chocolate covered cherry flavor in the smoke before, but i will pay closer attention next time... now i'm craving one so there goes a few bucks... thanks.

    I think I got a pack of the robustos from a similar deal, Eville. I had one a few weeks ago and it didn't have the chocolate-covered cherries flavor to it. The one from my original post was in my humidor for almost a year so I'm guessing that had something to do with it. The robusto was still an excellent smoke. Can't wait to hear what you have to say about it.

    I was at AVVA cigar at the mall for just a bit of time, long enough to smoke one cigar. Saw them in the humidor and thought about getting one but did not. Oh well, better luck next time.

    Thanks. I have a meeting in Salem once a month near Lancaster. I'll have to check out that shop next month.

    Having one of these now. I get most of the flavor profile listed in the OP. I can even stretch my imagination, and get the chocolate covered cherries... Very nice smoke. I believe the one I have is the Supremo vitola.

    Thanks....
