OK, those of you who have had Kristoff cigars, which is your favorite line? And why?
Criollo, Maduro, Ligero?
Thanks for the assist.

i've had a few of the maduro and enjoyed them quite a bit

Never had any but I'm curious. I always give them a good looking at before choosing something else...

I haven't had either of the Ligero blends, and I believe they have a Sumatra now as well. The maddie and criollo are both very tasty.

We just got them in at my shop. My boss was very unimpressed, so I skipped them. Worth trying?

Not really to be honest. I had all 3 Kristoffs and was not super pleased with any of them. The guy that makes them also makes a cigar called, Vengence. That cigar imo is better than the Kristoff line. But everyone is different, you should try it for yourself.

I have ejoyed the Kristoff's I have smoked.

I bought a box at a Kristoff event and had them give me half criollo and half maduro, they are both fantastic smokes, however, they are not the most consistent (construction wise) I have had many that were hard to draw

I like the Sumatra. I know some folks have had problems with the maduros and criollos canoeing on them all the time. They're a fussy cigar at times. I met the owner, Glen Case, he's a real nice guy. I'm going to see him again December 7th. Other than the Vengeance, he is also bringing on a new line called Brittania.

yes, Glen is a great guy. There were 2 tastings locally about 6 months apart and he remembered my name and what I bought at the first one which impressed the hell out of me

I haven't had a draw issue yet. Sometimes the burn will get off to an uneven start, I think due to the shaggy foot. They burn fine for me after a touch-up. I've been storing mine at 65%, but the first one I ever smoked was fresh out of the walk-in at a herf. I've been experimenting with 60% in my desktop for the last few weeks with great results, but I haven't smoked a Kristoff in a while. I'll have to fire one up and see how it burns.

Those, and hopefully they'll be stocking Bucaneros again with the bigger walk-in.
