Kristoff is adding a lancero vitola to its Corojo Limitada line, with the new shape set to begin shipping within the next two weeks according to company owner Glen Case, who recently shared a picture of the new cigar via his Facebook page:

Kristoff Corojo Lanceros

The new vitola shares the same measurements as the company’s other lanceros, a 7 1/2 x 40 vitola that come 20 to a box with a single stick MSRP of $9.10. Case told halfwheel that they are being added as a regular production shape, with production handled by the Charles Fairmorn factory in the Dominican Republic.

Like the rest of the Kristoff Corojo Limitada line, the lancero uses a Nicaraguan corojo habano wrapper, Nicaraguan habano binder and a blend of Nicaraguan habano and Dominican habano for the filler. It becomes the fifth size in the line, joining the 7 x 50 Churchill, 5 1/2 x 54 robusto, 6 1/2 x 52 torpedo and 6 1/2 x 56 Matador.

I strive to capture the essence of a cigar and the people behind them in my work – every cigar you light up is the culmination of the work of countless people and often represents generations of struggle and stories. For me, it’s about so much more than the cigar – it’s about the story behind it, the experience of enjoying the work of artisans and the way that a good cigar can bring people together. In addition to my work with halfwheel, I’m the public address announcer for the Colorado Rockies and Arizona Diamondbacks during spring training, as well as for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League, the WNBA's Phoenix Mercury and previously the Arizona Rattlers of the Indoor Football League. I also work in a number of roles for MLB.com, plus I'm a voice over artist. Prior to joining halfwheel, I covered the Phoenix and national cigar scene for Examiner.com, and was an editor for Cigar Snob magazine.
