Today was filled with yard work, pool cleaning and sunshine. It was an awesome day in the city of broad shoulders. After my chores were complete, I went into the kitchen and made the wife some Shrimp Scampi (the kids got chicken nuggets) for dinner along with some Pinot Grigio. After dinner, the kids ran off with their friends so I had opportunity to fire up a Kristoff Churchill at poolside in peace. The Kristoff Churchill was the perfect end to a perfect day.

The Kristoff Churchill measures a standard 7 x 48. It is constructed with Cuban seed Orlor Dominican fillers and binder. It is then finished with a Nicaraguan Habano Criollo wrapper. This combination gives off a cornucopia of flavor ranging from nut, spice and pepper. The appearance of the cigar is second to none. It has a pigtail to compliment it's shaggy foot. It lit easily and maintained an even burn. The draw was effortless. The dark, oily wrapper along with it's unique appearance makes this creation a must have for any humidor. A box of 20 runs for about $125.

If you have not fired up a Kristoff, you have no idea what you are missing. At a minimum, they are a must try. You will not be disappointed.
