Kristoff Vengeance

The packaging for Vengeance includes all the Kristoff signature touches one might expect, from the rugged gray box to the sinister black and silver bands. In Kristoff fashion, each vitola features a pigtail cap and rustic, yet beautiful construction. The dark, marbled wrapper looks imposing, yet upon first light it becomes clear that this concoction is made to be smooth and satisfying. The flavor profile starts off with a burst of classic maduro sweetness, followed by black pepper, coffee, and dark chocolate. A backbone of cedar and earth carries through to the end, and the finish is heavy and chocolaty. Medium-full-bodied and expertly balanced, this blend is made for the true connoisseur.

Though not technically a beginner's cigar, Kristoff Vengeance is an excellent way to step into the realm of heavier, darker cigars and makes a great choice for a first maduro. Blends of this stature pair beautifully with coffee, making Vengeance a great way to start the day. However, dark beer and red wine pair well also, and as we all know, maduros are good any time of the day. If you have come to enjoy such maduro blends as CAO Maduro or Partagas Black Label, or maybe even have tried the classic GC Signature Series from Kristoff, this cigar should be right up your alley. With a stick this versatile, easy to smoke, and undeniably satisfying, cigar freaks should take pleasure in knowing that Kristoff Vengeance is back—with a vengeance!
