Kristoff Sumatra Lancero Cigar – Single

The Kristoff Sumatra Lancero measures 7.5 inches with a 38 ring gauge, featuring an Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper cultivated in Indonesia. This leaf is recognized for its earthy character and subtle sweetness. The blend combines Nicaraguan and Dominican Cuban-seed long-fillers bound with a Brazilian binder.

Flavor Profile

Initial draws reveal cedar and spice notes with creamy undertones. Mid-smoke transitions showcase nutmeg, coffee, and faint pepper. The wrapper's natural sweetness emerges as caramel and toasted elements. The cigar maintains medium-bodied intensity throughout its combustion.

Combustion Performance

The lancero shape delivers concentrated flavors through its slender format. Construction features tight seams with consistent ash formation. Smoke output remains steady, requiring minimal relights. Draw resistance is optimized for the 90+ minute smoking duration typical of this vitola.

Pairing Recommendations

• Single malt Scotch whisky (12-18 year expressions)
• Aged Dominican rum
• Dark roast coffee
• Maduro wrapper cigars for comparative tasting

This format showcases the Kristoff Sumatra blend's complexity through extended combustion. The Lancero size requires slower smoking cadence to maintain ideal burn temperature. Box-pressed versions are available for enthusiasts preferring angular grip.
