Product Introduction
These Cuban cigars offer over an hour of smoking pleasure. They are medium to full - bodied. San Cristobal de la Habana is the newest brand launched by Habanos SA. It started with 4 sizes in 1999 and three more were added in 2004 for the 5th Anniversary of the brand. Oficios, a 5.3 x 43 corona, is one of them and has a second “La Casa del Habano” band.
Appearance
The well - packed cigar has a milk chocolate wrapper with hardly any visible veining. The golden double banding makes it attractive. After clipping, the pre - draw is comfortable and full of woody flavors. Rating: 4.5/5.
Construction
The construction is excellent. The two cigars smoked burned perfectly, had a great draw, and produced a large amount of smoke. Rating: 5/5.
Flavor
- At first, the bouquet is cedary with depth and no initial aggressivity.
- At the one - inch point, strong earthy flavors and black pepper at the back of the throat appear.
- From the second third, it becomes medium to full - bodied, developing roasted coffee aromas.
- The finish is strong and worth nubbing. Rating: 4.5/5.
Value
The price varies among retailers. A price under $8 might make one consider buying a box. Rating: 4/5.
