About this cigar
San Cristobal has long been the thinking person's Dominican smoke, and the Quintessence line represents the brand at its most refined. The Epicure is a measured 5 by 50 format that gives the blend room to develop without overstaying its welcome, making it ideal for the lounge setting where guests want complexity without commitment. The blend layers Dominican and Nicaraguan long-fillers beneath a Connecticut Shade wrapper, delivering a sophisticated progression from creamy cedar and subtle spice in the first third through deeper leather and cocoa notes as it develops. The construction is immaculate, a hallmark of the Quintessence series, and the burn is remarkably even. Expect a medium body with enough backbone to stand up to an aged spirit without drowning in it. This is the cigar for your discerning regulars and the house smoke that builds your reputation. The 24-count box format makes inventory management straightforward while the individual cigar quality ensures consistency that keeps customers coming back.
