The Kristoff Sumatra Matador Cigar measures 6½" x 56 with a chestnut-brown Ecuadorian Sumatra wrapper. This Dominican-made cigar combines a Brazilian binder with Nicaraguan and Dominican filler tobaccos aged at Charles Fairmorn factory. The oily surface texture indicates optimal fermentation and oil content in the wrapper leaf.
Construction features include a triple-cap finish and firm pack density characteristic of handmade cigars. The cold draw reveals air permeability through the filler blend. Upon lighting, initial combustion produces a 1.5" ash column with concentric burn rings, indicating even bunching technique.
Core components:
- Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sumatra (48-50 ring gauge)
- Binder: Brazilian Mata Fina
- Fillers: Estelí Ligero, Ometepe Viso, Piloto Seco
Flavor progression begins with cedar and black pepper notes from Nicaraguan Ligero leaves. Mid-section transitions reveal Dominican Piloto Seco's caramel sweetness and Brazilian binder's roasted nut characteristics. Final third introduces cocoa bitterness from Ometepe Viso filler, with combustion temperatures reaching 700-750°F in the tobacco column.
The cigar maintains 65-70 minute burn time at 68% humidity conditions. Smoke output measures 20-25 cubic centimeters per puff, with minimal relights required. Box-pressed shape allows stable ash retention beyond 1" segments.
