  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

I'm an idiot.., I felt the need to start off with that for multiple reasons. First my writing skills really suck and second I decided it would be a good idea to start the day with a fairly heavy cigar. But hey I did and decided to jot down kind of an informal review of the LFD Maduro Chiselito.

The Basics

La Flor Dominicano Chiselito Madure
5x44
Ecuadorian Habano Maduro Wrapper
$7 at a local B&M

Prelit

I love the chisel shape, the chisel on these cigars isn't as pretty as the larger sizes, it has some wrinkles in it, and like I usually do I punched both sides of the chisel which was a little more difficult because of the size. the wrapper is other than the chisel end looks great not veins or defects that I could see and it had a great chocolaty color. Overall a good looking cigar.

First 3rd

Lit really easily and the draw was great, little spicy right away similar to a Don Pepin, but also had a nice cinnamon note to it. Nice even burn all the way through the first 3rd

Second 3rd

Still drawing great lots of smoke from this little guy and starting to build in strength a little bit, also the flavors seem to be maturing away from the spicy into molasses and chocolate.

Final 3rd

This is where I had a couple issues with the cigar, the chisel started to unravel at the end a bit, but luckily it did not affect the smoking too much just a little annoying. And the chocolate molasses flavors continued through the end, but it did pick up a bit of spice again, and the strength continued to build.

For What it's Worth

I really enjoyed smoking this cigar, it was the first time I had the chisel this size and really enjoyed it, it took about an hour to smoke and will definitely works its way into my after dinner quick smoke rotation.

11th is great. I work at broadway cigar so I general buy from one of our three stores. I got this cigar from Richs which has a really good selection of small ring gage cigars. Are there any shops in lagrande?

No but I wish there was. The closest thing we have is a liquor store with a very limited selection maybe ten brands. So now I'm buying mostly online. I've been to all of your shops mostly the Broadway one. Loved to go there grab a cigar and get my boots polished.

I love LFD Chiselito's. The little oscuro ones, back a freakin punch. I used to grab one for $3 on my way home from the shop. For a small smoke this one is second only to the Tat Petite Cazadore Reserve IMO.
