Well dear readers it is time for yet another review from yours truly...I will try and do justice to the outstanding cigar I just got done smoking...Please sit back...relax...and enjoy my cigar with me...len
The Cigar : La Flor Dom Dbl Ligero Chisel Maduro
Appearance : Wonderful...oily...dark...Not many prominent veins that I in my relative newness to the world of cigars could discern..
Smell : Where to begin...I cant say much except that it smelled awesome...I picked up a wonderful "barnyard" tobacco smell to it...especially at the foot...
Since this was my first one of this particular brand (chisel tip) I was a wee bit confused on how to clip this bad boy...I read where one person uses a punch on the side of it...but...since I was a bit leery regarding the strength of this cigar I decided to just clip with the old trusty guillotine cutter...
Snip....ahhhhhh...the pre-light draw and aroma were wonderful...slightly spicy to my untrained palate...I was surprised by the ease of the draw due to the shape of the cigar...I felt I would have had some problems similar to some perfecto's I have smoked...Not so with this cigar...
Click (new torch lighter) and away I go...I will be honest here so nooo laughing lol...I about choked to death on the amount of smoke from that initial puff...Was totally unexpected...A lot of smoke...I was surprised to say the least...Oh and btw due to everything I have read/heard about this cigar and its strength I waited 30 minutes (approx) after eating dinner this evening before smoking it...Onward I go dear readers...never fear I shall not leave you hanging...
Now here is where YOU dear reader may get a little disappointed as my palate has trouble distinguishing flavors so I do apologize in advance and will do my humble best to convey the flavors to you so that you might enjoy this cigar as well as I did....Copius amounts of smoke coat my palate with every puff...No double hits here folks...One puff = mouthful of creamy smoke..Slightly spicy...I want to say chocolate...cocoa...with spice..very creamy...I can tell you with the greatest confidence that the finish (for me) was very chocolatey with notes of wood dare I say....No nic buzz for me...no upset stomach like some have said...this may be due to eating prior as I was a lil nervy about this cigar...Regardless...It was a wonderful smoke...I only ashed it twice then it went to the nub...The ash was very solid...came off with a light tap...And then I did some thing that I have yet do since starting smoking cigars...I read where a botl "purges" his cigar about the 1/3 mark....well what I did was I "purged" it after I ashed it...And I can truly say that in my experience the cigar did not feel plugged up after smoking it for awhile...Something I have experienced with a lot of cigars...So I will probably be "purging" my cigars from now on...
So...that being said I would like to thank a fellow botl for fulfilling the last cigar on my wish list...Thank you very much sir...I do know what a lil bit of my tax return will be getting me lol...Have a happy...and untill next time dear reader...len
