Nice review. When you smoke the next Kristoff, try biting the pigtail off. I was taught to do it this way and it usually results in a perfect draw.

Do you just bite it off right at its root? Does this keep the end from opening up further?

Yeah, right at the base. They usually "pop" almost like biting into a grape. It leaves a gap about the size of a punch cut, and I've never had one unravel on me.

Jeff, my next cigar will surely be a Kristoff, I'm really curious about this
Phillip, my Dad has sleep apnea as well so I sorta know what your going through...he hated going to the sleep clinic. Let us know how it goes!

I love this sampler. I've bought three on the monster over the last few months.

It was horrible. Had to sleep on my back all night so I gagged and choked all night. They got me out of bed at 5:30 and had to fill out more forms. I wanted to slug someone I was so tired.
But came home and slept for a couple hours.
Good thing your Dad uses a machine. I'm confident my dad's strokes in his mid 70's were a result of sleep apnea. He snored like a freight train. So I shall live to be 112...and still chasing young 85 year old vixens.

Nice review, Phil. Serious enough for those that only want the facts and just the right amount of humor to keep others smiling. Perfect combo.

I always bite these off. Using a cutter just seems wrong.

Yeah. It doesn't work for all sticks with pigtails (I get a better draw cutting El Mejor Emeralds, for example) but it just works with the Kristoffs.

My apologies. I attributed your suggestion of biting off the pigtail as keeping the end more structurally together. Ding. Wrong.
You said that it would improve the draw. Badda Bing! You were absolutely correct, sir.
