Origin and Format
The San Cristobal De La Habana La Punta is a Cuban cigar with a torpedo format. It's hand - made and part of the original 4 vitolas from the marca.
Appearance
The wrapper isn't uniformly colored. It has a typical colorado wrapper and a skillfully made triple cap. It has a sweet smell, and the pre - draw reveals cedary notes.
Construction
It takes some time to light, but then burns flawlessly. It produces slightly less smoke. The thin wrapper cracked at one point, without affecting the smoking experience.
Flavor
- One third: Starts very woody, medium - bodied, and lacks complexity.
- Two thirds: Develops vegetal flavors, flavors become deeper, with toasted notes, and occasional spice and fruits.
- Three thirds: Maintains the medium - bodied flavor with diverse notes.
Value
It's slightly less expensive than the Montecristo No. 2 and on par with the Partagas Serie P No. 2, priced in line with its quality.
