San Cristobal Revelation Heads to IPCPR 2013

Later this month, Ashton Distributors, Inc. will debut the fourth line for its San Cristobal line, Revelation. As has been the case for quite some time, Ashton will add a line to one of its two Nicaraguan brands at the annual IPCPR trade show and convention, this time an Ecuadorian Sumatra line for San Cristobal.

Five sizes will launch, a mixture of traditional round cigars and box-pressed. San Cristobal Revelation Odyssey (5 3/4 x 60) and Leviathan (6 1/2 x 54) are the two traditional sizes. Mystic (5 5/8 x 48), Prophet (5 x 54) and Legend (6 1/4 x 52) are box-pressed.

Revelation joins the namesake line, which is a Nicaraguan puro, the Nicaraguan Sun Grown-wrapped Selección Del Sol and the line’s Ecuadorian Connecticut, San Cristobal Elegancia.

Both San Cristobal and La Aroma de Cuba are made at the García family’s My Father Cigars S.A. Last year, the company updated the latter with the Oscuro-wrapped Mi Amor Reserva.
