Re: San Cristobal Seleccion Del Sol

I have not given one a go yet, I havent seen these at my b&m yet. I heard they were good from people that went to IPCPR. Seems that it maybe a little milder of a smoke than the regular line

Re: San Cristobal Seleccion Del Sol

You know what is funny I was in one of my B&M and they never had San Cristobal before and all of a sudden I noticed they had 3 boxes, I wonder if it is the new blend

Re: San Cristobal Seleccion Del Sol

I prefer the original blend. The Del Sol blend is milder.

I bought some today and smoke 2 today.

All I can say is WOW! This newer one if FAR better than the older San Cristobal by far. VERY peppery and spicy! It's incredible!

Re: San Cristobal Seleccion Del Sol

The new blend is spicier in my opinnion. We recieved them last week and I snagged a box. If your b&m doesn't have them yet it's bc they are being shipped in order of when they were purchased at the show.

Re: San Cristobal Seleccion Del Sol

Was down in Key West on a bike run last week and picked one up at KW Cigar City. Great smoke.

Re: San Cristobal Seleccion Del Sol

I dont think they are spicier than the original blend.. I do however like it better than the original blend.. but I have only smoked one out of my box and i HATE basing my WHOLE opinion of a cigar off of 1 smoke.
