At Vitola Fine Cigars, we’re always on the lookout for exceptional stories and unique experiences in the world of premium cigars. Recently, we had the pleasure of sitting down with Glen Case, the owner and founder of Kristoff Cigars. Glen shared his journey from the corporate world to the world of cigars, the essence of Kristoff Cigars, the challenges he’s faced, exciting rebranding plans, and his personal cigar recommendations. 

“I was in the financial services industry for 19 years and an executive at one of the top three banks. The last nine years of my career I just got tired of the politics, the bureaucracy, all the nonsense and decided to pursue a passion, which is cigars.

“What we’re known for is very full-flavored cigars without the bite, the bitterness, or the aftertaste…some of our stuff is a little on the heavier side, but it’s really about the smoothness, all the flavor without the bitterness…”
