San Cristobal Austria regionals? Anyone try them yet / opinion?

[01Vert]

   Just asking the group on their opinion on the Austrian regional release of the San Cristobals.   Anyone try them yet?  I have a box put away but wasn’t sure if I should try to pick up more.  Cost was about $210 US a box.   Not online.

I haven’t had one. I have a few coming my way to try. My friend said they were very good and ready to smoke.

I thought I saw a box on BR other day, they looked really good! probably the closet to a Hungary RE Habano! I would definitely cop a box as well.

The 2021 San Cristobal de la Habana Obispo was recently released in mid-2023. It is a Robustos-sized cigar, the same as the well-known Partagas Serie D No.4.

This might be the one I’ll get 4-5 boxes if I can acquire for 200-250€ 🥵

Never heard /read before from an Hungarian RE ?

Austo-Hungarian Empire 

San Cristobal in my opinion to light/mild. Need a med-full 

I thought more so a Robusto or Dobles format, RA or Partagas blend (Bolivar keeps coming to mind also but not familiar with brand) with twang barnyard, extra paprika spice. Beginning...not too overpowering, to a middle ending, krémesh pastry coffee.

Look up why Russians never took Hungarian prisoners during the wars. Pretty interesting. 🤔

Looks like they are still available. Be sure to hit the specialists when in Vienna or elsewhere.
