La Aroma de Cuba Edicion Especial #5

So help me out here as I show my lack of cigar knowledge. I was under the impression that Ashton was a Fuente product. So this would be a DPG blend made for Ashton? Sombody 'splain this one for me please. That sounds like an interesting marriage if so...the Ashton spice behind the DPG punch.

Ashton has realized that Pepin is one the worlds hottest cigar makers and they want to get in on that and he has blended and produced 3 cigars for Ashton. The San Cristobal, LAdC EE and the Benchmade.

Thank you.

And thank you as well.

I think I knew that San Cristobal was a DPG blend but I thought it was another of his marcas. I din't realize that it was an Ashton marca.

And I apologize for the threadjack, but how does the San Cristobal line compare to the three main DPG blends? Isn't it considered a full strength line as well?

The cigar industry is rather incestous to say the least, no?

Thanks for the review. I liked this one too. I still want to try one of the Orignal La Aroma de Cuba's (the non special edition).

San Cristabol is a very good cigar try it if you have not already. I would call it med/full bodied and I think it has alot of cinnamon in it. Alot of people say the tobacco used in them is very young and suggest aging them a little. However, I have smoked them straight out of the B&M and really enjoyed them.

I grab one or two of these whenever I hit the local B&M. They are mighty tasty IMHO. I'd like to try one with some age, however they usually don't make it past a month or two in my humi. Some day I'll have to set a box aside for research.

P.s. Nice review on the LAdC EE #5 Jeremy!!!
