Kristoff Maduro Torpedo Cigar

This evening I have the opportunity to smoke the Kristoff Maduro. Of the 3 sizes available, I am smoking Torpedo (Belicoso) which is a 54x6.25. The cigar comes in a box of 20. This cigar is constructed of Nicaraguan and Dominican tobacco and has a Brazilian maduro wrapper. The wrapper is redish brown with a nice oily sheen. It is slightly spongy to the touch throughout.

The predraw on this cigar give a hint of sweet moca. Once lighted up, the sweetness continues and is enhanced with creamy cedar with a slight tingle on the tongue. It has lots of creamy bluish smoke. Nice draw that is not too easy and not too tight. The ash is rough looking but does not crumble or flake off. As the cigar warms up, the flavours don’t change, but become stronger with absolutely NO bite or harshness! This cigar is medium in strength but full rich flavoured. This is a very Cubanesque cigar in both construction and flavour profile. Pick one up and give it a try. Rating: 8.5
