Falto Lonsdale

[kaelaria]

This 6.5×42 cigar features a dark brown wrapper with a smooth satin finish and slight oil sheen. It has a soft, even pack minimal veins, tight seams and a sweet soapy aroma. First light reveals a perfect draw, good rich thick smoke output, creamy tobacco and leather flavors with a bit of bitterness. The first third develops in to medium-full body flavors of a sweet creamy coffee and leather, with a good pepper kick that builds through the long finish. The 1/2 way point comes at 30 minutes in, with no changes whatsoever to the profile. Ending at 50 minutes, the last third dropped the leather and most of the pepper, continuing the creamy coffee flavors with no strength buzz, just lots of rich flavor. http://cigarobsession.com/2011/06/24/falto-lonsdale-cigar-review/

Nice review, I've enjoyed all of the Faltos that I've smoked.

Can you compare Falto's flavor profile to anything you've had before? I've seen the name flying around, but not enough to make me reach out and buy one. Maybe if I could mentally compare it to something?

Nothing comes to mind that fits exactly - I mean here are a ton of smokes with coffee and leather flavors, but each one is a different balance and overall taste. And thanks!

I believe they are made by La Aurora and I have found them to be similar to some of their offerings. The strength and flavor profile on the ones that I have smoked have been most similar to the Guillermo Leon.
