"My UZI, it weighs a TON..."
And that's where the name came from. Jon loved it.

That’s funny. I would guess most cigars get named accidentally. I was responsible for one. I was out on the patio at Cigar Room Shoals, when it once was a place to be but now a **** hole, Glen Case of Kristoff was discussing a new cigar that would be named to express their displeasure with the FDA’s new rules governing new blends and cigar sales. They really couldn’t come up with anything so I chimed in that I’d be pissed off at these new FDA rules. Glen’s eyes lit up and said, “That’s it! Pistoff Kristoff!”
Didn’t even get a free cigar out of it.
