Although the 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show didn’t feature as many new releases as Kristoff has in recent years, it was certainly not a quiet year. The 2025 PCA Trade Show would see the grand unveiling of Kristoff’s revamped packaging across its portfolio. That was announced in 2023, and while Kristoff already moved a few lines to the new packaging, 2025 would see the lion’s share of the portfolio transitioned. In addition, once again, Kristoff would have a PCA Exclusive cigar to offer.
New Packaging
Previously, most of Kristoff’s packaging was what company President Glen Case calls “rustic elegance” – rough-cut boxes where the cigars are packaged in loose tobacco. With these packaging changes, the plan is to move the Kristoff portfolio away from the rustic elegance look to this sleek, modern look. The pig-tail caps remain, but most importantly, the blends remain the same. Below are some highlights of the new packaging.
Kristoff Signature Series PCA Exclusive 2025
Kristoff has announced the Kristoff Signature Series PCA Exclusive 2025. This limited edition cigar will be exclusive to retailers attending the 2025 Premium Cigar Association (PCA) Trade Show. It marks the fourth consecutive year Kristoff Cigars has released an exclusive cigar for the PCA Trade Show.
Each year, the PCA Signature Series has featured a different blend. As with the past PCA Exclusives, the 2025 edition is a box-pressed Toro. Also, as in the past, it’s based on an existing Kristoff blend, in this case, the Kristoff Mexican San Andres. If this sounds familiar, it is very similar to the Kristoff TAA 2020.
Pricing is $14.00, and Kristoff Cigars donates a portion of the proceeds to the PCA Defense Fund. A total of 500 boxes have been produced.
