#45: San Cristobal Revelation and Alec Bradley Prensado

Awesome smokes, they all have a great taste and of course come from Nicaragua.

Delicious, even burn, and great pairing

Can't go wrong with either one.. smooth draw, even burn, you name it

San Cristobal Revelation is my favorite cigar. Highly enjoyable and relaxing.

Both excellent

San Cristobal had a great oily wrapper, smoked excellently!

Great smokes and combo pack.

Prensado Great smoke good burn rich bold flavor. San Cristobal great burn, not as bold as i had wished for. Great combo set would definitely buy again!

Love these cigars!!! Will definitely order them again

Revelation is a tasty treat and great cigar. Prensado starts rich and smooth, but about half way, it gets harsher and a lot less pleasant. It's still a good cigar but everyone preferred the SC Revelation. Would buy this sampler again in a heartbeat.

The Revelation is my favorite cigar. Paired with Alec Bradley is the perfect pair!

Love the San christobal, smooth and a great smoke. AB Prensado is a winner.

Both brands are exceptional. I like to buy samplers in order to try new cigars or to have 2 or 3 brands I enjoy. San Cristobal and Alec Bradley are two of the finest for quality; flavor profile; and overall enjoyment.

Great package you won’t be disappointed

Great Duo

The Alec Bradley's were great, but the San Cristobal not so much. I found myself giveing them to friends that came by.

Awesome smoke at a great price

Good stuff. You won’t be disappointed

My favorite combo pack. Prensado was my favorite until I tried San Cristobal Revalation! Excellent value!

Well worth the price. Nice smokes great flavors.

Great balance with a even burn. The roll is just right for a pleasant amount of smoke. The flavors are rich but not over bearing. Making for a enjoyable smoke with your favorite drink. His sons should be proud to have this cigar carry their name.

Good cigars

Two of my faves!

This duo is excellent! San Cristobal Revelation is my favorite, and Prensados are my 2nd favorites. To bundle them together is awesome!

All cigars were well made, in good condition from shipping and tasted great. Easy website to buy from.

Great sticks. Never fail.

Fast shipping Great combo

The Prensado is always a great cigar. The San Cristobal is one of my favorite cigars, but the Revelation leaves me a little lacking. Good, but not great.

nice

Like

Very mild with lots of flavor. Of course, the Alec Bradley box-pressed cigars are my favorite.

smooth and creamy

These are two of my favorite Cigars. Great to find them together as a sampler at an excellent price . CI always comes through and service is excellent as always.

Great Value on two great smokes!

San Cristobal is my all-time favorite. Great construction, great draw and fabulous flavors. A real cigar. I love it when there are specials on this cigar as it is the best. And Alec Bradley is not a slouch either

Great combo of medium weight smokes. The Revelation is a fantastic cigar.

You cannot go wrong with either one of these. Great burned great flavour all around well made cigars

2 very good cigars! I love this combo! I buy them often when I run out.

Tasty, cool smoke well past the band. Easy draw and palate pleasing flavors. Delivered fresh and promptly. I have never been disappointed with these brands.

fantastic sticks!

Alec Bradley Prensado is my all time favorite, the strong notes and complex flavours is a big plus. Have been smoking ALec Bradley about a year now. I thoroughly enjoy the last bit of smoke. My new favorite and infact go to cigar now is San Cristobal Revelation... very smooth yet the flavor profiles are amazing, great construction with a balance in blend is an amazing combination.

Both of these cigars are awesome!!!

Alec Bradley Prensado are the smoothest full flavored cigar you will ever have.

I enjoy the San Cristobal Revelation. I have tried the Alex for a while and just not my profile.

Tasty strong flavors not for beginners.

Excellent Cigars- great burn

Both sticks are premium cigars and give a nice full smoke.

Great smoke

Great price for great cigars.

Gran compra de mis favoritos

I have ordered these before. I love the Deuces options as it gives me the chance to try out different smokes. This is one of the better combos.

Really impressed, one of my favorite samplers. San Cristobal has an excellent flavor. Earthy, bread toast, slight pepper on the end. AB Prensado another great flavored stick, mild flavor but quality. If you’re looking for a quality sampler to show your friends this one is definitely a must have. You will not be disappointed.

The revaluations are prefect draw burn taste all great.

Prensado is the best cigar!!! No more comments!!!

Great cigars

Amazing combo!! The San Cristobals size is nice! Both good cigars with nice flavor! Great smokes!

2 amazing cigars at great price

Great sticks will order again

Very good buy, Revelation surprisingly good.

Good

Very good

Great sticks for great price

Great smoke

Wonderful cigars

I often buy these two in combination. Fine cigars at a decent price.

Great cigars for a great deal

One of the best deals on the entire site !!

Very g99d cigars.

Awesome smokes at a great price!

The cigars are fantastic

They are my favorites, haven't tried this ring gauge yet but I'm sure they'll be great!

What a pleasurable way to start an afternoon

The Prensado is the special one in this pack. Smooth, flavor-full...did I mention smooth?

Both were a pleasure to smoke and enjoy with my scotch.

Smooth cigar. My friend loved it as well

Great cigars. 2 of my favorites. Great service as always

Both are delicious cigars, can’t go wrong with any of the gentleman’s deuce. Great pairings at a great price.

Got a good deal here. Great cigars.

5 stars for the Revelation, 4 stars for the Prensado. Rounded up because of good value.

Great combo, great quality

They both are nice smoking cigars. No harsh bite.

Both of these sticks are very smooth, good flavor. All around great cigars for the price.

Both cigars are very worthy.

Good loose draw. Lots of thick smoke output. Nice flavors. I put it on my list of 'mind blowing' cigars. There are only 15 on that list after trying close to 200 different cigars.

What a deal, i can't stop ordering this combo. Two amazing cigars, for a crazy low price. I am a big Ashton fan, but we all know they can be cost prohibitive, so the San Cristobal collaboration of Ashton and Garica is a steal. Get it, love it, share it with your friends, if you can.

I got this due about a year ago, and have bought about 5 more since then. Two really GREAT cigars, lots of flavor, perfect construction, burn and draw. This 10 pack is the best deal on CI!

Rich, flavorful. Great experiences.

good smokes all the way to the nub...

I like the original San Cristobal; the Revelation is equally pleasing.

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Well Balanced yet bold flavor. A Consistant smoke from beginning to end.

Alex Bradley were great but the San Cristobal were not as smooth.

The Alec Bradley Prensado, has been a favorite for a long time. First time for the San Cristobal Revelation. Really enjoyed it , stays lit nice draw and lasts me through 11-12 holes of golf. Will be buying more

I have confidence that the cigars I get are fresh. The speed of delivery is exceptional.

will buy again

Great cigars

I always enjoy this combo!

Excellent smokes

Cristobal’s are my go tos. The Prensados were a pleasant surprise.

Wonderful cigar. Burns evenly, good wrapper, great taste.

This is a good sampler for me as I try various brands and taste levels to develope and grow as an aspiring aficionado. Bother we’re good smokes and I will get this one again.

That was a great pairing

Both cigars are great , even better when sold as a set.

Awesome Duo, can't wait to get some more...

Great deal. Never a bad smoke. These are 2 of my favorites

Match made in cigar heaven,

This is a great intro pack for the money. Anyone that has tried combo should enjoy both of these cigars. I keep going back for this one!

Price good burn an flavor excellent very relaxing cigars

Two great cigars. Both smoke great, good flavors . I'd buy them again.

They are both great

San Cristóbal hit the spot, even burn, good draw. The Prendado’s are overrated, uneven burn and multiple relights. Great deal but that’s about it

He loves his cigars, never had one he didn't like.

I really only bought it for the iSanCristebal’s

Both sticks are excellent. Price is right

My two favorite smokes in on pack!!

These cigars are a wonderful and refreshing addition to my humidor

Always a good experience shopping with CI. I really like this combo, good smokes for the good course.

Both are incredible balance of smooth and flavorful. They are medium to full bodied with great flavor. Exceptionally smooth with no overwhelming peppery nite. And for this price, its a close to perfection as you can get.

The Revelations were everything was hoping for, nice burn, flavorful, lasted long time, will definitely buy them again. Prensados were a disappointment. Love the Alec Bradley Tempus line, expected a lot more from these. No real flavor at all. Did burn nice, but bland.

yummy

Enjoy both , however for my taste the San Cristobal was the more enjoyable

I buy these a lot!!! very nice for the price!!

Decent smokes

Great products and excellent customer service

Outstanding cigars by any standard. Tried the Prensado in a churchill size first so the bundle that included robusto sizes was a no-brainer.

I'm a Florida boy and an avid angler . The perfect companions on the water and at the days end are a good boat drink and a great cigar .

This was a pack of 10 awesome cigars at a good price. I was looking to restock my humidor and work something new into the mix. I knew I loved the Prensados but never had tried the San Cristobal Revelations before. They are kick-Ass! Cery similar to the Alec Bradelys with both giving lots of rich smoke tasting of the leathery, peppery goodness that is a maduro cigar. The Prensados have more of a natural tobacco flavor, that may be a bit vague. It's worth buying this pack to find out for yourself!

Good

The Aiec Bradley Presando was always one of my favorite sticks. This was my first purchase of the San Cristobal Revelation.......WOW! What a wonderful taste of various spices and the sweet taste of chocolate. This great cigar will be a nice addition to my humidor...... Thank you CI for pairing two magnificent smokes. This is a must for all cigar conissours.

Both are incredible smokes and the price was great!

This most recent combo order was my third purchase. Both are exceptional cigars and priced well.

All showed up in good condition dispite not being in a box and so far all are smoking good

this is the best cigar I've had in a while,it burned true all the way through and the flavor never stopped.gotto get me some more.

Thank you very much! Enjoyed my cigars!

Both very good/always consistent with flavor and draw

Thanks

2 of my fav's so can't go wrong

A couple of really good sticks! Have purchased more than once!

Great cigars at a good price

Both cigars are amazing. Smooth, tasty, and not too strong. The package at the price is unbeatable. I would probably stick to these 2 as long as it’s available to buy this way.

Both are great smokes

They're not here yet....HELLO!

I know a lot of folks like the San Cristobals, but to me they are just OK. The Prensado is a great smoke. In spite of thier small size, they efinitely made this a good buy for me.

Greatcigars!

This combo is awesome. I wish I could afford boxes of these two sticks. I am a big fan af Ashton, and these San Cristobals are out of this world. The Alecs are something special also.

Bought a custom sampler I put together and it was great. A coupon code or two and it made what was a great deal that much more awesome! Bought 50 cigars and the boys left me with less than 15! Great customer service and selection par none! - Mike

I really enjoyed both of these cigars. I have always loved the Prensado, but this is my first time to try the Revelation. It does not disappoint. If you are a Medium to Full bodied fan, as I am. You will love these.

Excellent smokes!

Both are great cigars and you can't beat a 96 rated Prensado.

Great prices and service

After years of searching for the right balance of taste you finally delivered. I found this one last month and I'm back for more. I even turned my neighbor on to this combination. I wanted something with a little more favor and you achieved it with both choices.

The San Cristobol Revelation is a long-lasting, smooth-draw and very fulfilling cigar. The Prensado was an added bonus to this well-priced package.

Loved them both gonna get some more

Pleasantly surprised!! The prensado was extremely flavorful and had a great draw! Will definitely purchase more..

It's a no brainer!!!!

Two great cigars in one combo. Thank you, Joe Cigar.

I ordered this twice because of the value!! CW

The san cristobel has quickly become one of my favorite cigars.

Prensado is a very good cigar and San Cristobal is one of our favorites. They never fail to provide a great smoking experience.

Have always liked the Prensado and thought I'd give the San Cristobal Revelation a try. With the deal being offered by CI, it's almost worth it just for the Prensado's. The bonus is that the Revelation's are top notch themselves. It's a combo I will be getting again, and again, and again.

Okay cigars for the price

Both great cigars. A great value at CI

San Cristobal Revelation was okay. I had them in the humi for a little over a month and then tried one, it was quite peppery for me. Otherwise it was okay. Nothing too huge to write home about not sure if it was the one stick or.... The Prensado's always great.

Alec Bradley have become one of my favorite go to cigars. Always seems to have the great qualities you expect in a Cigar. The Same seems to follow in the San Cristobal. Although I have not experienced many of these. My only wish would be to go with a larger ring size on the Bradley.

Great smoke.

Both cigars were excellent Will definitely buy them again

Both these cigars are an excellent smoke...I like the Revelation when I have an hour or so to enjoy a cocktail and a good cigar. I like the Prensado on the golf course because of the great burn it has. Both very good cigars..Kenny

Nice smokes. Good deal

Pre dado was my favorite.

Great cigars. Revelation burned great and good flavor. earthly, with a splash of pepper at the end. Prensado was great also great burn. Very smooth, good cap, creamy smooth through out the burn and flavor was consistent down to the end. Almost burned my fingertips.

Very rich, satisfying smoke, great delivery, well done.

I had the opportunity to enjoy the San Cristobal Revelation and Alec Bradley Prensado. The San Cristobal started out a bit rough but within a minute or so smoothed out beautifully; it was an enjoyable smoke. The Alec Bradley Prensado on the other hand, started out smooth and stayed that way throughout and billowed out copious amounts of smoke. While I enjoyed both sticks the Alec Bradley Prensado was clearly my favorite and is on my short list of brands to buy when I'm replenishing my humidor.

Good smoke's

This was ABSOLUTELY the BEST sampler I've had. Every single one of these cigars was a delight.

Great price for to fabulous cigars

I'm all about high rating cigars.Bradley prensado is one of my favorites, and after viewing the reviews for San Cristobal I decided to give it a try. Very nice cigar indeed! Smooth, and pleasant smoke. Is now part of my collection.

Excellent prices and selections

Burn is clean. Easy draw.

1st time with San Christobal - very smooth smoke. It and Presinado are great medium full smokes. Will definitely return for more!

san cristobal did not draw well and i kept having to re-light, and huff and puff. Presnsado have yet to disappoint and is always a well rounded smoke

Some of my highest rated favorites at a great price

What a tremendous taste treat!! This S/Christobal makes the theory of "delay gratification", a true test!!

Some great smokes!

Decent smokes. Get a new buyer, someone who seeks out quality.

Received this package and let the cigars sit in the humidor for a week. I pulled out the Alec Bradley last night and used my draw poker to make sure I got a good draw. The Alec Bradley cigar tasted great. It really is a 96 rated and it shows. The only drawback was the cigar did go out about midway through and had to be relit. Maybe another week in the humidor will help these sticks out. When they were shipped, they did come in a nice size CI zip lock bag.

Extremely pleased with the dual order of Prensado ( go to cigar for these pairings) and the Revelation which I've never tried before but will now reorder soon.

Everything I could wish for! Worth the money, two great cigars.

They where fantastic I'm still enjoying them! They have a very good draw and very nice tast with plums of smoke!!

Good smoke. Well constructed, long lasting medium bodied cigar.

Great cigars as well as great service!! Both cigars are great with the Prensado being just a little more interesting. I would definitely order again!!

I was highly impressed with the Revelation, like most blends from Pepin as of late. The Prensado, always a favorite of mine since its inception, had an unfamiliar flavor. It seems like the folks at AB have been having a tough time keeping their blends consistent from year to year. It still wasn't bad, but I'd rather the San Cristobal's be paired with something like a La Aroma de Cuba or My Father. Jose Garcia FTW.

Title says it all. Does not appear these were well cared for before they came to me. San Cristobal are my favorite but these were terrible.

Will keep some in humidor.

Oh cigars her pleasure to smoke. I prefer the San Cristobals over some of the Cubans I've smoked.

Ceegars went right into the humidor...haven't tried em yet

Great cigars for a great value

Great price for great items

This review is based entirely on the deal and service I received. Amazing low price for top grade cigars! Shipping was quick and the cigars were packaged perfectly! CI always delivers with great customer service! I'm letting these sticks rest for a couple weeks in my humidor, but both are beautifully contructed with soft oily wrappers, I can't wait to light them up!
