Kristoff Cigars
Glen Case founded Kristoff in 2004. At the rolling table, Kristoff uses entubar bunching and draw-tests each cigar. The two lines we carry in Webster show how that same approach works with a Honduran Criollo wrapper and a Mexican San Andrés wrapper.

Kristoff Cigars FAQ
Who founded Kristoff Cigars?
Glen Case founded Kristoff in 2004. The company uses entubar bunching, a method in which the roller forms individual filler leaves into small tubes before gathering them inside the binder.
Where are Ligero Criollo and Pistoff Kristoff made?
Both are hand-rolled in the Dominican Republic. Their wrappers come from different countries. Ligero Criollo uses Honduran Criollo, while Pistoff Kristoff uses Mexican San Andrés.
What distinguishes Kristoff Ligero Criollo from the original Criollo?
Kristoff says Ligero Criollo uses twice as much ligero in the filler as its original Criollo. The blend pairs a Honduran Criollo wrapper with a Dominican binder and filler tobaccos from the Dominican Republic and Honduras.
Which Kristoff sizes does The Smoke Ring carry?
We carry Ligero Criollo in Matador and Robusto, and Pistoff Kristoff in Lil Pistoff and Robusto. For a particular size, call our Webster shop at 281-332-9871 and we’ll check the humidor.
Why Kristoff?
The same size, two different blends
We carry both lines in Robusto. Ligero Criollo draws on Honduran and Dominican leaf, while Pistoff pairs Mexican, Indonesian and Nicaraguan tobaccos. The blend reference shows where each leaf fits.
Construction you can trace to the rolling table
Kristoff’s rollers form small channels in the filler through entubar bunching. The company tests each finished cigar’s draw as a separate quality check.
