What's New
I love a good extravaganza, and we have a great one running through the month of July (or while supplies last). We have a couple different ways for you to get a FREE humidor. When you purchase any box of La Aroma de Cuba or La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial cigars we will give you a free La Aroma de Cuba humidor. These humidors hold 25-30 cigars and come with a Savoy humidifier.
Now made by Pepin Garcia in Nicaragua, the new blend of La Aroma de Cuba has a rich, spicy Nicaraguan filler/binder blend. The wrapper is a flavorful Connecticut Broadleaf.
The La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial blend is made up of rich, well aged Nicaraguan tobaccos and finished off with a delicious Ecuadorian sun grown wrapper.
We are also running the same special on San Cristobal and San Cristobal Seleccion del Sol cigars. Pepin Garcia blended San Cristobals for Ashton. The cigars are very well balanced with hearty notes of earth, cedar and spices accompanied by lighter notes of walnuts and dark chocolate.
The San Cristobal Seliccion del Sol has a filler/binder blend made from Nicaraguan tobaccos and features a flavorful Nicaraguan Sun Grown wrapper.

| A new addition to the San Cristobal line, the San Cristobal Sun Grown is going to be a limited production line consisting of three sizes. The cigars feature a Nicaraguan Sun Grown wrapper.
These were some of the best new cigars I smoked at the trade show.

 No. 12San Cristobal Monumento
"No cigarmaker in the world today has more buzz than Jose "Pepin" Garcia. Mainly on the strength of Tatuaje and Padilla brands, which he makes for other clients, his gutsy cigars have always graced out Top 25 list. Now Garcia has landed his largest client yet: the Levins, owners of the Ashton brand. The Levins asked Garcia to create San Cristobal in his new Nicaragua factory, and he responded with a fine, rich smoke a bit more tempered than the leathery powerhouses for which he has become famous. The brand hit the market in August, led by the huge Monumento, a visually striking 7 1/4-inch x 49-ring cigar with a slightly tapered head and a wrapper the color of semisweet chocolate. The performance is typical Garcia, with spicy notes of nutmeg balanced by sweet cherry."

Ashton trademarked the San Cristobal name in the 1980's and just never found the right cigar to pair with the name. That was until they teamed-up with cigar master, Jose "Pepin" Garcia. Pepin Garcia has been making some of the most sought-after cigars on the market today.
The San Cristobal is a Nicaraguan puro that features a dark, oily Nicaraguan wrapper and a rich, full-bodied smoke. Garcia used his 30 years of Cuban cigar knowledge to create a perfect balance of strength and complexity. Ashton describes the San Cristobal as possessing, "hearty notes of earth, cedar and spices accompanied by lighter notes of walnuts and dark chocolate."
San Cristobal comes 22 to a box with 6 sizes available. According to Ashton San Cristobal should be shipping to retailers in August. The first years production will total 300,000 cigars.
