The Kristoff Sumatra is a Medium-bodied cigar with woody, grassy, sweet dried fruit, spice, and cinnamon flavors blended with a smooth sweet touch of leather. The spices of this stick have a tendency to sit at the back of your throat throughout the smoke. The pigtail cap, rough foot, and small subdued matte wrapper are reminiscent of old-world Cuba.

The Kristoff Sumatra is constructed with Cuban seed Dominican and Cuban seed Nicaraguan long fillers, Brazilian binders and Ecuadorian Sumatra wrappers. The Kristoff Sumatra wrapper is rough, thick-veined, and reminds me of an old, well-loved, dark brown leather recliner. Despite the rough, unfinished foot, the Kristoff Sumatra burns evenly, though VERY SLOWLY. The smoke is thin and the draw can be tight if you try to rush through this one.
