Kristania comes from the same boutique Dominican factory as the rest of the Kristoff range, through the same quality control, at a noticeably lower price.
Smooth and well-balanced, with cedar, cream and a light sweetness. Nothing about the construction or the burn suggests a budget cigar — which is what makes it worth knowing about. Robusto, toro or a seven by seventy.
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut
Binder: Dominican
Filler: Dominican and Nicaraguan long-filler
Strength: Mild to medium
Sizes: Robusto (5.0" x 50), Toro (6.0" x 52), 7x70 (7.0" x 70)
The quiet bargain in the Kristoff line-up.
