San Cristobal from Ashton

[Shades of Havana]

Just had a San Cristobal Event last night at my B&M... Had a chance to smoke all 6 sizes. Amazing Cigars!! Smooth, creamy, chocolaty and enough spice to make you wake up. If you haven't had one, try to find one, they are extremely limited.

You smoked 6 cigars last night?

Yeouch! I'd be dead -- LOL!

Yeah, I would vomit on myself:barf:

 

[Ratbert]

These are made by Don Pepin Garcia, correct? I think my B&M has a pretty good Ashton selection so I may have to drop by and visit him today.

No one around here has any of these yet! I am a huge VSG fan and from what I hear, this is a wallet saving alternative. If we do not get some soon I am gonna scream!:crytears:

6 in one night, you must be superman

I just stopped by my local B&M and he has plenty...at least a couple of boxes of each size. Although you cannot purchase off of his website (he's set up strictly as a walk-in) he told me that anyone on the BOTL board who wanted can call him, give him their cc# over the phone and he'll ship to them. $5.00 to ship. Since he's not really set up as a mail order, he'll only sell full boxes. But, they are there as of this afternoon if you want them.

okay, first things first.... I said i smoked all 6 sizes....not 6. I think it was closer to 8, HOWEVER, being that I am a professional and it occured over 10 hours, I was pretty safe. I did eat between cigars 5 and 6, and since it was an event, there might have been a bourbon or two....

We should do a quick box buy. I'd be in for 5

Hey Eric,

Sorry, I missed it last night. I got caught up at work. Did you save me any.

:drool:

 

[blessednxs65]

What size are we talking about?

Just got off the telephone with Saiid KArroum from Ashton (he's the West Coast Sales Rep). He informed me that they were just delivered to my local B&M and they took delivery of three sizes:

Classico

Guajiro

Monumento

the pricing seems reasonable too (then again so are their VSG prices).

Ooo the maestro looks nice. I think its cool that more people are making that shape cigar now.

If a GB goes down, I'm in for a fiver.

 

[AZsteelman]

Eric, I got your email reminder too late...sorry I missed that....

and guys, Eric smokes more in one day than several of us combined at his shop! I'll stop by in a couple of days...see ya!

 

[Volusianator]

I'd be all over a GB on the Guajiro - 6.625 x 46!

 

[Irritech]

I'm going against the grain on this cigar. While I think they are some beautiful sticks, I think there are plenty of DPG cigars to be found that are just as good but quite a bit cheaper. If your going to lay down the coin, find some El Centurion's, you're getting your moneys worth on them.:razz:

 

[Trumpetchris]

Got my fiver in the mail yesterday. Going to let them sit a couple days, then try one.

 

[Shades of Havana]

Irritech, the only issue with El Centurion's is the availability....50K sticks. Triple that figure for the SC's....

I think the SC, while it has some characteristics of other DPG smokes, is a unique animal.

I still don't have a favorite size. yet. today. maybe the guajiro (wah-hero). maybe the monumento. could be the maestro.???

 

[Electric Sheep]

Eric, your smoking prowess makes me feel like less of a man. :crytears:
