Kristoff Brittania Reserva Perfecto?

Received an email on these from Atlantic, might pick up a box for 40 bones and give them a shot......possible AF SS flavor profile?

Just got the same email. Never tried these, but I do like the Kristoffs, and the shape of these sounds pretty unique.

Must.....resist.....

Looks like a good deal, turned me off when I read "mild".
Someone go for it though.

I bought a box of these. I had never heard of this line from Kristoff before, but responded to an email from Atlantic about a month ago regarding the Brittania Reserva Toros for about $40. I like a good connecticut cigar at times, so I bought a box. I thought it was quite good, especially for the price. I'm always looking for a smaller cigar that only takes 30 mins or so to smoke, so with a good experience on the toro I bit on the perfectos. They haven't been delivered yet, but I'll comment on them once I've had one.

Sorry for the delay...I was out of town on business and just had a chance to smoke one of the Kristoff Brittania Reserva Perfectos this weekend.

First, the size of it was exactly what I was looking for. I enjoy smaller smokes that I can enjoy when driving to or about town. It looked to be about the same size as the Fuente Short Story, but the Brittania label took up most of the cigar so I removed it before lighting. It took about 25 minutes to smoke.

The burn was fine, and infact I like the ways these little perfectos light (again, identical to the AF Short Story). The construction was good, and I did not have to touch it up. It produced a nice amount of smoke.

The flavors were very nice...mild but interesting, creamy, smooth and enjoyable.

After having one, I later went online to order another box. I love this size, and for $40/box it can't be beat. Unfortunately, Atlantic sold out of them and they are now on backorder. I doubt they'll come back at that price, but if they do, I'll be buying more.
