San Cristobal Golden Hour Coming This Summer

Ashton’s newest San Cristobal is designed for one of the prettiest times of the day: the golden hour.

The San Cristobal Golden Hour is a new regular production cigar that uses a Cuban-seed wrapper from Ecuador over a variety of Nicaraguan tobaccos from Condega, Estelí, Jalapa and Namanji. Like all other San Cristobal cigars, it is rolled at the García family’s My Father Cigars S.A., and all of the Nicaraguan tobaccos come from the García family farms. A press release describes the blend as medium-full with flavors of “cedar, cinnamon, coffee bean, molasses, and spice.”

Golden Hour is debuting in six vitolas

• San Cristobal Golden Hour Magico (5 1/2 x 50) — $11.40 (Box of 25, $285)
• San Cristobal Golden Hour Bonito (6 x 52) — $12 (Box of 25, $300)
• San Cristobal Golden Hour Angelico (7 x 49) — $12.15 (Box of 25, $303.75)
• San Cristobal Golden Hour Dorado (6 1/8 x 52 pirámides) — $12.45 (Box of 25, $311.25)
• San Cristobal Golden Hour Ocaso (6 x 60) — $12.75 (Box of 25, $318.75)
• San Cristobal Golden Hour Pacifico (6 1/2 x 64) — $13 (Box of 25, $325)

Four of the vitolas are round, the two thickest—The Ocaso and Pacifico—are box-pressed.

Ashton will show off Golden Hour to retailers at the 2026 PCA Convention & Trade Show, which takes place April 18-20 in New Orleans. It is expected to ship to stores this summer
