Kristoff Criollo

Notes: Oily, oddly colored, yet beautiful wrapper. Closed foot and bun cap. Ring measures at 44 instead of 40. Full body and strength, flavors of maple, milk chocolate, clove, cashew, and red pepper in the retro. Very uneven burn and wavy char line, certain spots of the wrapper seem to be noncombustible. Required two relights. Also a tanginess that became too punchy and distracting by the final third. Some construction problems but very nice complexity.

Smoking time: One hour, forty five minutes

Rating: Three stars
