The Kristoff GC Signature Series is quite
literally a bold addition to the Kristoff stable of high-end boutique cigars.
Rich and complex, the 5 ½” x 54 GC Signature Series Robusto will surely please
the most discerning aficionados.
The GC Signature Series Robusto begins with a delectable
blend of Cuban Seed filler tobaccos from Honduras, Nicaragua and the Dominican
Republic. These leaves are surrounded by a Cuban Seed Honduran binder and an
imposing Brazilian Maduro wrapper. The bold composition of these tobaccos makes
for a luxuriously rich hour-long smoke.
The Kristoff GC Signature Series Robusto could
very easily become unruly, yet the subtleties of blending and aging keep the
beast in line. A true testament to the quality of craftsmanship by one and all
at the Kristoff factory, the amazingly smooth smoke is jam-packed with complex
flavors. Rich cocoa, espresso and roasted malt flavors are thick and
ever-present while notes of wood, dried apricot and pepper build towards a big
finish.
A cigar enthusiast’s cigar, the full-bodied
Kristoff GC Signature Series Robusto is one to enjoy after a nice big meal with
a thick chocolate stout. It certainly won’t be for everyone’s taste, but the GC
Signature Series deserves consideration by all true aficionados.
