• Flavor Text:

Kristoff Habano delivers a satisfying peppery kick with a unique, multi-national blend handcrafted in the Dominican Republic. A Cuban-seed Brazilian wrapper embraces Brazilian binders over Dominican and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos. Flavors of sweet cedar and coffee rush through the nose with an approachable aroma. The medium-bodied profile develops a spicy undertone and finishes with a balanced complexity.

Another cigar in the mold of the Last Call, the Kristoff brand has presented a few of these really nice, smaller smokes for quicker occasions. Kristoff has released some of these little 4-inchers with Connecticut, Habano and Maduro wrappers, and with a few other options just like these on the market, they've certainly found a way to differentiate themselves from the pack in true Kristoff fashion.

These cigars are 4 by 52, which is perfect for the 20 minute break you might have during the day to sneak away and light up. The Habano is an excellent medium choice, and while it's always got a signature peppery kick to it (the Habano wrapper, that is) this blend is nothing too terribly aggressive for those who dislike the stronger stuff. This cigar features a great deal of white pepper and wood and it crescendos into a somewhat sweet end of the cigar. The construction and draw is brilliant, and while that isn't exactly saying much for a smaller cigar like this one, the plumes of smoke you can draw from this puppy is well worth the couple of dollars, and overall, it provides an incredible break for anyone looking to steal a 20-minute vacation away from wherever they are. 

This is one cigar worth trying. Grab one if you see them, or perhaps a Connecticut if this one sounds a bit too spicy.

Happy smoking! CB
