San Cristobal Quintessence Belicoso cigars are blended by famous cigar-maker Jose Pepin Garcia using 100% aged Nicaraguan tobaccos. That alone sealed the deal for me even before smoking one! However, my instincts were right, because this super premium gem was simply oozing with rich, medium to full body flavors of black pepper, leather, coffee, spice, and yummy sweet molasses!
