This sampler celebrates the bold character of Mexican San Andrés wrappers, tobacco cultivated for centuries in the fertile San Andrés Valley. Known for its thick, resilient leaf and long fermentation process, San Andrés delivers a naturally sweet, earthy depth. Expect notes of dark chocolate, espresso, pepper, and rich spice layered with a lingering sweetness. The volcanic soil and humid climate of Mexico give this wrapper its signature intensity, making it a favorite for full-bodied, complex cigars.

Pretty good! Sweet earth and woody.

Good

Robert Spryszak · 1959 · Fri Oct 16

Seemed at little harsh at first draw, but I caught up to it once I understood what it was trying to do. The leather was prominent and, for me, something like a hearty rye bread on the retrohale. The wrapper got a little ragged at the end but it didn't ruin my "golden hour." Put me down as satisfied.

The most Cubanesque Cigar I’ve smoked thus far, extremely similar to the Montecristo Wide Edmundo The Ecuadorian Habano Wrapper looks exactly like a Cuban Cigar, the ash is magnificent, perfect burn and draw Absolutely no harshness! No bitterness salts minerals or heavy pepper, nothing but Creaminess earth cashew and rich tobacco with consistent flavors from first light to the nub Consider the 93 Points by Cigar Insider, 100+ review on site and backorder and you’ll get the idea of just how good this cigar is Best of all is the price, it smokes better than anything $30 plus After trying at least 100 different Cigars this one is the only thing I smoke with the exception of the La Mission L'atelier 1959 if I’m in the mood for a Chocolate Bomb

This one's got a pleasant spice, good balance of flavors, and worth keeping a few on hand.

Underrated cigar

Olivier H · 1959 · Thu Feb 26

I took my time with this La Mission L’Atelier 1959, a short vitola, smoking it over an hour, and it truly rewarded the slow pace. The first third opened with classic pepper and light spices followed by a clear note somewhere between dried fig and raisin bread (at least that’s what I personally picked up — I didn’t really see it mentioned in other reviews), dark and slightly chewy, layered over cocoa and cedar — not sweet, just deep and natural. The middle shifted toward coffee and earth, but the real magic was the last third. It became intensely savory, almost like grilled sausage over charcoal, rich and umami-driven without ever turning bitter. This is easily one of the best final thirds I’ve ever smoked, because instead of fading or turning harsh, it tightened up, gained depth, and stayed smooth while growing stronger. The finish delivered a clean nicotine kick, firm yet perfectly controlled. I paired it with a Havana Club rum, which helped me enjoy the cigar even more. I won’t even talk about the construction, burn, or draw — that would almost be disrespectful for a cigar of this quality. Highly recommended!
