La Flor Dominicana DL-452 Maduro

[Poriggity]

Ok, you probably haven't noticed, but I haven't included many pictures with reviews lately. That is about to change. I have an Iphone and I know how to use it. Most of the sticks I review will be ones that I smoke on my 1 hour lunch break at work, and this one is no exception. Lets get to work!

I've had the pleasure of smoking a few of these, thanks to the owner of my local shop, The Humidor in Redlands, Ca. He gave us a couple of these at a cigar dinner we attended a few weeks ago, and after the first one, I was hooked! I decided the second one I smoked, I just had to share with my readers (if there are any out there)... So here we go!

1/3: As is my usual nowadays, I lit up in the parking lot at work, and took a few short drags. The first few puffs were heavy with cocoa and spice, with a ton of billowing smoke, and a very smooth draw. So far things are progressing nicely, but the nicotine kick I've come to expect with LFD's hasn't hit yet.

2/3: I took a few swallows of my Monster Java before continuing on this cigar (yes, thats another quirk about me, I drink weird stuff with my cigars, and I like it!) As I continued, the pepper and spice kicked up full force, and just about knocked me in the teeth. About that time, the nicotine kick that I have come to expect from LFD has also shown up. Now, it may be the fact that I had about a gallon of coffee and 2 energy drinks by 12:00pm that day, but at this point I was starting to get a little jittery. I am going to attribute that to the caffeine, and not the cigar, as I'd like to think I am stronger than that. As I finished up this portion of the smoke, I got a nice hint of cocoa and wood, along with the spice, that I was enjoying very much.

3/3: As I got into the last third of this cigar, the peppery, knock you in the teeth spice came down a little bit, and the cocoa and woody flavors started to come to the forefront. At this point, I am really digging this cigar. Its got a nice oily sheen, and as you can see in the crappy Iphone photos, its holding an ash really well. I am not wanting my lunch break to be over at this point, as I am really enjoying this smoke.

And this last picture, is the last one I took, simply because I was enjoying the cigar too much to whip out the Iphone and take another picture. The ash fell off shortly after this picture... Well, I actually knocked it off, because I didn't need ash all over my shirt and tie! All in all, this was an excellent smoke, and I am now on the hunt for AT LEAST a box of these. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a nice nicotine kick, with some great flavor!

Smoke em if you got em, buy em if you don't!-
I am urging all my bro's to check out my blog that I just got off the ground:

I love these things... they are great.

Would recommend.

 

[Poriggity]

Yup, me too... I am usually an LFD fan, but not so much that I buy em by the box. This one however, I am on the hunt for a box!

That size is fairly new and over the last week... 10 have burned.

Something about them... so nice.

Very cool review! I have never smoked an LFD, but a have a couple and keep hearing nothing but good things. I"ll be on the lookout for this particular stick, though, as the size and flavor profile sounds like it would be right up my alley!

Great review Scott! I will have to keep my eyes open for them! I always enjoy a goof LFD! Glad to see that I am not the only one out there who will drink random stuff with my cigars depending on my mood. I am a energy drink junky...

Great Review Scott! I've smoked three of these I think and they've all been quite good, great cigar overall

Oh man, I had one of the Double Ligero's at Florio's in Little Italy, NY....what an awesome cigar! I have 2 ligero's in my humi that I've been waiting to smoke. Actually, I have a lot of sticks in my humi I can't wait to put a flame too. Great review though! Now I'm off to check out your website....
