Jas Sum Kral came back to IPCPR 2018 after a year away from the trade show. Riste Ristevski, owner of JSK, told us about what’s coming out of his new factory.
Jas Sum Kral was started a few years ago, and I was actually the first person to review the Red Knight blend. The company was formerly sold almost exclusively online. It had a presence in a very limited number of shops across the globe, but this year, Riste decided to shut down his direct-to-consumer sales and drum up business with the B&M retailers.
JSK cigars were originally rolled at Tabacalera NOA, but complications resulted in a move of all production to Tabacalera de Aragon.
Jas Sum Kral Toothpick 2.0 Habano
This cigar was previously released in limited quantities with no bands. It’s now got a facelift with bands that indicate if the cigar is the Habano or Maduro blend (black side up: Maduro / white side up: Habano.)

5 x 50 – $6 (Box of 50 – $300)

Jas Sum Kral Kralot
The wait is almost over. Come November 2018, the Kralot will finally hit shelves. If you’ve followed JSK, you’ve heard about this cigar and maybe even tried a pre-release. Riste finalized the blend, and “The King” is here. Next year, we’ll also see 7 x 38 and 4 x 44 sizes added to the line.
