Kristoff Connecticut Robusto Cigar - 1 Single

Date Added: Saturday 23 August, 2025 by Matt

A cigar of 2 halves.
The first half was lovely. I took several touch-ups to get it fully and evenly lit. It had a slightly uneven burn but manageable with frequent rotation. Flavours were smooth and mild cedar and nuts, and it held a great ash. I thought it was one of my new favourite sticks - I like a mild connecticut.
But, the second half was unsmokable. After the first ash I couldn't keep it alight. After 3 relights I found the ash was tunneling - so I cut it off and re-toasted and lit. After numerous re-lights it just wouldn't stay alight, and I abandoned the last 2+ inches.
I may have just had a bad stick, so will give this cigar a other try on the basis of the first half, but a tragic second half.
