Paradiso or San Cristobal for the USA is the cornerstone of Ashton's mutual endeavors with the Garcia family in Estelí, Nicaragua. Prolific growers of fine tobaccos, the Garcias demonstrate a disciplined capacity to surpass industry trends and evolve.

Outlines of walnut and black cherries trace the finish.
