2024 Cigar of the Year Countdown (Coop’s List): #4: Kristoff Tres Compadres Toro (Audio)

Coming in at #4 on the 2024 Cigar of the Year Countdown is the Kristoff Tres Compadres Toro.

The name Tres Compadres means “three friends.” In this case, it is a tribute from Kristoff owner Glen Case to two of his close friends who recently passed away, Chuck Finch and Rolando Villamil. Case would often refer to the three of them as the three amigos. Rolando Villamil is a name that may be pretty familiar if you cover the cigar industry, as he ran Tabacalera Von Eicken in the Dominican Republic, where all of Kristoff’s cigars are produced.

2024 Cigar of the Year Countdown (Coop’s List): #7: Perdomo 30th Anniversary Connecticut Epicure (Audio)

Coming in at #7 on the 2024 Cigar of the Year Countdown is the Perdomo 30th Anniversary Connecticut Epicure.

The Perdomo 30th Anniversary line was easily one of the most anticipated cigar lines to hit the market in recent memory. It’s hard to believe that about 18 months the world first got a look at the Perdomo 30th Anniversary line at the 2023 Premium Cigar Association Trade Show. In fact, when it came to the final packaging, Perdomo’s Arthur Kemper and Nicholas Perdomo III kept the design under wraps from CEO Nick Perdomo until the night before the Trade Show. A few months later, Perdomo would ship its 30th anniversary to retailers.
