Kristoff's TAA Release Arrives in a Broadleaf Maduro Wrapper

Kristoff Cigars has announced its 2026 entry in the Tobacconists' Association of America's Exclusive Series Program: a 6 x 52 toro with a Connecticut broadleaf maduro wrapper, a Dominican binder, and a blend of Nicaraguan and Dominican fillers. Production is capped at 500 boxes of 20, priced at $15 per cigar and $300 per box, with shipping expected in late October or November ahead of the TAA's annual meeting October 25-29 at Casa de Campo in La Romana. The cigars are made at Tabacalera Von Eicken in the Dominican Republic. Separately, Kristoff is also releasing its Mildly Pistoff Kristoff line through TAA before that one arrives at a broader audience at the March 2027 PCA show. TAA exclusives are a consistent source of undervalued collector tobacco: the Dream Machine bulk-order mechanic at the annual meeting pushes prices below street retail, and 500 boxes is a genuinely tight production run for a $15 cigar with a real distribution program behind it.
