San Cristobal Coloso (6.75" x 62)

The San Cristobal Coloso is a Nicaragua-made, Full-strength Gordo measuring 6.75" × 62 from the original San Cristobal line. It combines an Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro wrapper with Nicaraguan binder and filler tobaccos. The 62 ring gauge makes Coloso one of the broadest formats in the original San Cristobal range.

San Cristobal Coloso Specifications

Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro Over a Nicaraguan Core

The Ecuadorian Habano Oscuro wrapper is the outer leaf of the San Cristobal Coloso, covering a Nicaraguan binder and Nicaraguan long-filler interior.

That composition gives buyers an important distinction: Coloso is Nicaragua-made and built around Nicaraguan internal tobaccos, but the current documented wrapper is Ecuadorian rather than Nicaraguan. Smokers comparing dark-wrapper formats can also browse TRP's Habano cigars.

Because binder and filler share a Nicaraguan origin, the blend has a strongly Nicaraguan core while the Ecuador-grown Habano Oscuro supplies the wrapper component. It should not be described as a Nicaraguan puro unless the manufacturer changes its current blend specification.

Coloso Gordo Format at 6.75 × 62

Coloso measures 6.75 inches long with a 62 ring gauge, placing it firmly among TRP's larger Gordo cigars.

A 62 ring gauge equals 62/64 of an inch in diameter, or just under one inch across. That physical scale distinguishes Coloso from narrower members of the same line such as the Clasico 5 × 50, Fabuloso 6.13 × 52, and Papgayo 5.75 × 55.

Ring gauge describes dimensions, not strength. Coloso's Full classification comes from the blend rather than from its 62-ring size.

Full Strength with Espresso, Cocoa and Dark-Fruit Notes

San Cristobal Coloso sits in TRP's Full-strength cigar category, matching the stronger profile associated with the original San Cristobal blend.

The documented San Cristobal profile centers on espresso, dark chocolate, walnut, black cherry and pepper or spice. These are listed blend descriptors rather than a guarantee that every smoker will perceive the same flavors or in the same order.

No sufficiently authoritative source documents a Coloso-specific first-, second- and final-third progression, so a staged tasting sequence has not been added.

My Father Cigars Production in Estelí, Nicaragua

San Cristobal Coloso is made in Nicaragua by the Garcia family at My Father Cigars S.A. in Estelí. The original San Cristobal project was developed for Ashton, with José “Pepin” Garcia associated with the blend.

The Coloso joined the original line as a large 6.75 × 62 extension in 2013. Other formats in the San Cristobal collection give buyers several ways to compare the same brand across shorter, slimmer and shaped cigars.

Its country of manufacture also places the Coloso within TRP's broader selection of Nicaraguan cigars, while the Ecuadorian wrapper remains a separate blend attribute.

Choosing the Full-Strength 62-Ring Coloso

The Coloso format is most relevant to buyers who specifically want the original San Cristobal blend in a long, very broad 62-ring presentation rather than a smaller Robusto, Torpedo or traditional Toro-sized format.

Pairing ideas based on its documented espresso, dark chocolate, walnut and black-cherry profile include espresso, unsweetened cold-brew coffee, dark-roast coffee or an aged dark rum. These are serving suggestions, not manufacturer specifications.

For cigars being stored beyond immediate use, maintain stable humidor conditions rather than leaving them exposed to changing room humidity. TRP's humidors provide storage options for building a longer-term cigar collection.

San Cristobal Coloso FAQs

San Cristobal Coloso is classified as Full strength. That strength classification belongs to the original San Cristobal blend and should be kept separate from the cigar's 62 ring gauge, body and listed flavor descriptors.

The Coloso measures 6.75 inches long by a 62 ring gauge. Its unusually broad diameter makes it one of the largest straight-sided formats in the original San Cristobal line.
