The San Cristobal Elegancia is another refreshing mild to medium cigar that is has been released amid a sea of full bodied, full strength nicotine bombs. These new sticks from Ashton bring a refreshing change of pace. Like Ashton's La Aroma de Cuba Mi Amor and the other San Cristobal lines, these cigars are made in Nicaragua at the My Father Factory. The San Cristobal Elegancia is an Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapped Nicaraguan filled and bound cigar that was released in 5 sizes at IPCPR 2011.

These cigars are very pretty with their near perfect delicate wrappers, packed full feet, light amount of oils and smooth non-toothy finish. The dual band on these cigars also lends credibility to their name Elegancia as they are very pretty and elegant bands. Despite being made at the My Father Factory the traditionally pepper heavy blending on Don Pepin takes a backseat here and really allows the creamy, nutty, grassy and earthy flavors of this San Cristobal Elegancia shine through. Smoke one of these golden blonde beauties early in the morning, right before bed, or anytime the situation calls for smooth mild to medium flavors and body.
