San Cristobal La Punta

San Cristobal La Punta – A Sharply Tapered Belicoso

The San Cristobal La Punta is the tapered vitola among San Cristobal de La Habana’s four core cigars, created in 1999 and named after Havana’s original name, its standard range honouring the fortresses that guarded the harbour. Rolled in the Campanas format at 140 mm (5 1/2″) with a 52 ring gauge, it is a belicoso shaped cigar with a pointed head, taking its name from La Punta, the fortress that stood opposite El Morro across the harbour entrance.

Fully handmade with 100% Cuban long filler from the Vuelta Abajo, the La Punta carries a Light to light to medium body and the cedar, coffee and cocoa character through around 30 minutes. The tapered head concentrates the smoke for a more intense opening draw, a favourite for smokers who enjoy cutting and lighting a proper belicoso. Presented in a box of 25, it stands out visually.
