Ligero is the top of the tobacco plant, the leaf that gets the most sun and carries the most oil and strength. Kristoff loads this blend with it and wraps it in a San Andres Maduro that has been fermented until it is nearly black.
This is the powerful end of the Kristoff catalogue. Bitter chocolate, black coffee and a heavy earth note, with a sweetness from the maduro wrapper that keeps it from turning harsh. Do not smoke it on an empty stomach.
Wrapper: San Andres Maduro
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan and Dominican ligero
Strength: Full
Sizes: Churchill (7.0" x 50), Robusto (5.5" x 54), Matador (6.5" x 56), Torpedo (6.1" x 52)
The Torpedo tightens the draw just enough to keep all that ligero in check.
