SAN CRISTOBAL MURALLES

SAN CRISTOBAL MURALLES

Description

Visually an incredibly beautiful cigar. Leafy vanes are very small. This cigar was soft to the touch. Just an incredibly beautiful cigar.

Details
Length: 7"
Ring Gauge: 54

I first came across this fine example of a cuban rolled cigar at the second annual cigar hurf. Alexgtp get all the credit on the find. He told me it was the best cigar of 2007 and he was right on.

The Pre-draw is easy, nothing holding the draw back on this cigar. Lots of sweet cedar.

I clipped the cap at a 45 degree angel. Little tip from my 90 year old grandfather. Back in the day he said, we cut of the tip on those torpedo cigars on a 45 degree angel, makes the smoke role out into your mouth.
Funny the old guy is always right.

The first 1/3 of the cigar is sweet, little hint of coco and cedar. This cigar is going to be a treat. The burn is flawless, the ash while a nice light and dark gray does not hold long.

The second 1/3 of the cigar the flaver slips from sweet coco and cedar too a more cedar. The burn is still flawless.

The final 1/3 was a little stronger with more earth tons and that old twang that Wilkey is always talking about. I say Buy you some.

Well done Jay. Your review reminded me that I have one of these, so to the torch it will go on Wednesday. :thumbs:

Jay, is that a special edition? The one I had never had a second band?? Either way, San Cristobal cigars are good in my book.

Not a special edition per say... but you can only buy them from "La Casa del Habano" shops. That leaf is the symbol of the chain.

Yep, they're a new size from San Cristobal that actually are also available from some of the internet sellers. Another new SC is the Officios, a 5 3/8 x 43 that I hope to add a box to the coolerdor in the near future since I'm not a big fan of 54 RG Havanas like the Muralles. SLRs are probably my favorite Havana but my second favorite are the SCs.

Great review Jay! :thumbs:

The SC is new to me, thanks to alexgtp. I have been doing some reading up on the line and you are both correct. Time to add some other stock of theres to mine.

I never heard of this cigar before, but after reading your review, it is now part of my wish list!

I also never heard about the 45 degree angle cut. Anyone else do this with torpedos?

Called a Dick cut.

 

[alexgtp]

nice..
I have enjoyed the Murallas and the officios.
San Cristobal has been one of the best for 2007 for me at least.!
Glad I could corrupt you in Vegas! :whistling:

I am most certain, that if Gramps would have called it a DICK cut, I would not have put it in my mouth. :sign:
